The first half of the last 16 fixtures has been completed, with 3 largely 1 sided matches and a clash of giants. Its time for part 2 of the round of 16:

I expect a couple more tough fixtures in this 2nd half of fixtures, Including a popular dessert against a North African favourite! Cast your votes now!

Sushi (Japan)    22 vs 58     Meat Pie (Australia)

Moussaka (Greece)   59 Vs 21    Sauerkraut (Germany)

Burrito (Mexico)    65 Vs 15    Goulash (Hungary)

Tandoori Chicken (India)   49 Vs 31    Pasta (Italy)

Paella (Spain) Vs Peking Duck (China)

Pavlova (New Zealand) Vs Tagine (Morocco)

Jerk Chicken (Jamaica) Vs Doner Kebab (Turkey)

Fish & Chips (England/UK) Vs Swedish Meatballs (Sweden)

[Trav Le Bleu]

Jerk Chicken or Doner Kebab was one of the hardest choices of my life.

[StanSP]

Duck 

Tagine

Kebab

Fish & chips

 

And I echo the thoughts of @Trav Le Bleu

[Sharpe's Fox]

Paella (never had either but I like the idea of paella more)

Tagine

Jerk

Chippy tea

[Beliall]

Anyone who votes meatballs is a bellend

How can you have sauerkraut vs mousakka? That's like coleslaw vs lasagne. Not a fair fight IMO, should've gone for a bratwurst or something. Also, meatballs are better than fish & chips

I like fish and chips, but it I also think it's one of the most bland, run-of-the-mill foods to have as your national dish. Maybe because I've had it the most of any of those dishes, but I'm certainly not going to vote for it on account of patriotism... which I suggest some people might be. Not you though.

I used to like you. Nothing beats a piece of battered cod, chips, mushy peas for tea. I'm ordering extra off amazon this christmas. 

[Benguin]

Absolutely detest Chinese food, to the point I won't even go near it. Used to live with a Chinese guy and watching him eat and cook just formed a huge prejudice. Really gutted you drew England against Sweden, I love me some Swedish meatballs

[Samilktray]

This list really makes you realise how dull English food is. Fish and chips  

[Strokes]

Italian meatballs are excellent, Swedish meatballs are crap!

Anyone who votes for a kebab over jerk chicken, should FOAD.

i've had more kebabs than I have jerk chicken. think i've had the latter maybe once or twice in my lifetime!

 

I know what I'd prefer after a night out getting hammered  

[The Guvnor]

Cod and chips, with curry sauce is Ambrosia, that's the food of Gods Ambrosia not the other sh^t, throw in a pineapple fritter and that ladies and gentlemen is perfection.

The only time eating a kebab is acceptable, is when you are so smashed you can't taste the tyres on the meat.

[bovril]

A good doner kebab from Turkey or neighboring countries is perfection. Not the kind that come in polystyine boxes and end up on cab floors.

 - never really got on with seafood beyond fish finger sandwiches so had to be Swedish Meatballs as the least worst option. 

[filthyfox]

Me and nine other bell-ends have voted for Swedish meatballs.

Those from Ikea with the sauce are delicious

 The only reason I go to Ikea these days is for the meatballs mate 

 

Seriously, check em out. Fish and Chips just don't come close in terms of taste for me..

Nah, the Ikea ones are crap; they're all gritty (although the gräddsås mix is decent there, granted). Done right though, so so good and the mash potato with cream in it... great. I have no idea why lingonberry jam is so amazing with it but terrible in anything else.

and a quick edit: What the hell are boiled spuds doing there instead of mash?

You live down south don't you? Fish and chips are crap down there. Ps that looks like a dog has thrown up on some deer poo.
