Everyone has Olympics fever right now, don't they? I'm not even a huge sports person and even less of a watching-sports-on-TV person (I prefer a live game, if I can catch one), but even I'm interested to see who wins and who loses.
Of course, I was most excited for my fellow countryman half-Cuban Ryan Lochte to win the first Olympic gold medal for Team USA. And, as usual, the first thing I did to celebrate was eat! The best part about the 2012 Olympics in London, for me, is having friends and family over to watch the action. And it wouldn't be a fiesta without some themed party food! Check out these 12 simply incredible Olympics-inspired foods and you'll be craving (and trying to duplicate) all of them, too!
