Wimbledon signifies many things for us: peak summer has arrived, the fresh strawberries and cream are in abundance, and the jugs of Pimm's are our drink of choice to enjoy while watching the tournament.

But along with strawberries, Pimm's and plenty of sunshine, we've got some fun and quirky recipes that we love to make during the tournament to celebrate with friends and family.

Pimm's is a very versatile liqueur and can be used in many sweet treats, like our Wimbledon cup trifle (where Pimm's is made into a syrup and then used for soaking biscuits), as well as used into a salad dressing (yes seriously!) for a more savoury approach to the well known liqueur.

If you're hosting a Wimbledon-themed party this year, or having friends around to watch the finals, try one of our recipes below to wow your guests.

Tinned sardines, or pilchards as they were generally known in the UK, have been a cupboard staple for decades. They are actually the same species, though ‘pilchards’ is the name typically given to the larger ones.

Meat-loving Argentines eat less beef as inflation bites
Argentines, famed for steakhouses, sprawling cattle ranches and asado barbecues, are consuming less beef than ever, forced to tighten their belts by triple-digit inflation and a recession. Beef consumption is down almost 16% this year so far in the South American nation where beef has always been an essential part of the social fabric, along with soccer and mate tea. Steakhouses dot street corners around Buenos Aires and people will huddle around make-shift barbecues for a taste of beef, even on construction sites or at protests.
