If we're going to do a pinned post to keep track of our World Cup 2014 eats, it's probably a good idea to make one for our ongoing WorldEats challenge too. We'll keep this updated with links to all of the relevant WorldEats meals so you can follow along on our journey. Go here to read about our philosophy behind the challenge, its history, and its current form, and check out the countries below! (If you're wondering about the country numbers, we have a numbered list of all the countries and it kind of shows where our gaps in our "walk around the world" are.)
