International Food Fair

Food Fair

The food fair was a great event to exchange different cultures and meet new friendly people. At the stall we met a couple of Argentinian people that prepared empanadas and mate and we brought alfajores Havanna, alfajores de maicena, chocotorta and mantecol. It was difficult to explain the people what a chocotorta or an alfajor was, but finally we managed to do it well. By the end of the event we realised that there were no more alfajores left and we went dancing with the other people. It was an excellent (and tasty) way to meet people from all over the world!

FOOD FAIR:
Thursday night, we had a world food fair. There were stands of several countries, such as Spain, Sweden, China, Brazil, Ireland, of our own country Argentina and a huge line outside the place in the stables, were people waited to get the bracelet with the names of the countries they wanted to have a taste of their foods in particular (yet later you could have a try of what was left without having the bracelets).
Our stand had the “desserts” (since the people of other countries brought salad, meat, etc.), we had a chocotorta, which was the most popular amongst Irish, lots of alfajores that were sliced in four and given to the people by our students, some mantecol, crackers with dulce de leche and also we served some mate (which was the least popular sadly)
After that, the DJ put some music popular amongst us, mainly cumbia and reggaeton, and we started to dance. It was fun, but Irish and most of the other ones of other countries didn’t did so they were quite boring.
 Anyway we had a great time and we are looking forward for more.
