Food Festival

Sophie Killip, a Welsh Second Year organised a food festival on Sunday. It entailed many e-mails and quite a bit of organisation and was really something special! If you didn’t provide any food (as I didn’t, the cost was only £1 to try others). I can’t remember everything that was there, or the names of the things, but if I will try to say some…

Norway- Salmon, Cream Cheese and Rye bread

Bermuda- Cassava Pie (with chicken)

Wales- Welsh Cakes

England- Scones

Russia- Pink Soup? Potato Salad

Brazil-   Brigadeiro- Condensed milked boiled with chocolate butter and butter. Rolled into ball and covered in sprinkles. Very sweet and amazingly delicious! Brigadeiro means Brigadier in Portuguese, a position in the army. The sweet was made up by Brigadier Luis Antonio’s wife, when he ran for government, as a campaign tool. He wasn’t elected but the sweet caught on.

Pao de Queijo- Translates into cheese bread. Balls of soft bread dough and cheese baked until soft in the inside but crunchy on the outside.

Turkey- sweet thing… and Turkish Delights

Hungary- pastries of some sort

China- Noodles, and seeded Dates

South of Africa-

1)Seswaa

2) Spicy Onion and Tomato: diced onions and tomato with salt pepper and chillies. This is usually served with something called Kapana which is spicy barbecued beef meat cut into small squares.

3) White Bloomer bread. This was a replacement as we could not make Pap (pronounced p-up).  It is a traditional porridge  made from maize meal to a thick constancy and is more specifically known as Stywepap (ponounced stay-vah-p-up) meaning thick porridge. it has a very bland taste and is almost always accompanied by with sauce and meat.

Italy- Tiramisu

Guatemala- Tamales
