| Two top eights for BLR. If that is Bulgaria, further advantage for home cooking.

| Bulgaria is BUL. Belgium is BEL. Belarus is BLR. What is Bieylorussia (or is that now Belarus?). And what's Belize? Bollywood?

| I believe that is Belarus. Bollywood is IND, I'd think. Does Belize have a federation? | |

| Also Lapkes has been making 8s in major international tournaments for a while now and I think the other guy is also a reasonably strong competitor with previous results. Even if they were Bulgarian I doubt that home cooking would have been necessary (since "home-cooking" is usually intended to connote some favortism for the home team in athletic circles).

| I think in this case it was a reference to the "mystery-meat on a stick" from the OP. Which could be... anything. | |

| Ben and Jason had to fence to make top 8... if you look at Jason's other scores it looks like he was on fire that day:
d. Pastore 15-12
d. Ivan Lee 15-7
d. Igoe 15-8
d. Pillet 15-11
l. Pozdniakov 15-13
impressive...

| Not to mention taking out Ivan Lee as well. What an unfortunate DE tree. | |

Which could be... anything. | Ahh, home cooking....when I was last in Plovdiv, nearly every restaurant near the venue served some kind of kebab dish...but we were a little disturbed to notice that we usually couldn't tell the difference between the "chicken" sticks and the "beef" sticks.
Hence the disturbing "mystery meat."

| I wonder if I can get one for my corporation.
Edit: That is, the one I work for. Not one that I own. | |

| Great result! For a long time it seemed that Jason was doomed to be "always the bridesmaid" of the US team ( as it were ). 
When I lived in Greece, they also had "MMOAS". A stand once opened on a corner near my apartment building and the neighborhood was soon devoid of feral cats. Coincidence?

impressive... | Wasn't Pastore the fencer who knocked Jason out by a pretty large margin at the Olympics? | |
