A big sporting occasion deserves the best game day recipes. Whether you’re watching the Irish rugby team take on Japan in the International Rugby Summer series, or getting ready for a Tokyo Olympics viewing party, we’ve got the best recipes for you.
How better to celebrate the Irish sporting legends doing us proud in Japan (or against Japan!) than with finger lickin’ Japanese food.
What’s better is that the 3 recipes we’ve chosen can all be hand held. This makes them ideal for munching while watching TV. Why not make a platter with all three recipes and invite everyone to get stuck in.
When there’s action on the pitch or in the stadium, check out the 3 winning (and easy!) recipes below.
