Could there possibly be any foods that would fall into the category of "Olympian"? I can't think of any. We have Christmas foods - Plum pudding, stollen, etc, the americans have cherry pie for Washington's birthday, but what is there for the Games?

An Italian restaurant chain sent us coupons valid for take-out only, to bring home pasta for Olympics-watching. It seemed an oddly awkward tie-in, but it did get my attention.

Delivery pizza for eating in front of the TV. And a case of microwave popcorn.
Mcdonald's opened a temporary restaurant in the Olympic Park that can seat 1500 people. Biggest fast food restaurant
They have a Special Olympic Menu

Usher73 - from your link, "a Kimpton hotel, is offering a "Five Rings Pimm's cocktail". I didn't think people still drank Pimms. Pimms was the first alcoholic drink I ever had and we thought we were the bees knees!
So McDonald's is feeding the athletes and their families? Hmm...turns out they're putting Olympics on the menu.
Still not very Olympian though.

With the UK importing 40% of it's food in normal times, you are lucky not to have rationing.
Or only half hour waits for snacks. Eh

I'd like to see that 1500 seater McDonalds when it's all over, not to mention the olympic venue itself, considering you don't have to travel very far in London to get a fairly decent meal why would anyone go all the way to Greenwich Park to eat that crap. I can see the venue going the same way as the Dome, empty for god knows how long then sold off cheap.
