Living in Europe, it’s not hard to have multicultural meals. One time we had French toast with Canadian syrup, Irish butter, and Costa Rican coffee made in a French press. We regularly get French and Swiss foods at the grocery store (in addition to German products) since the countries are so close. But this month, we’ve been eating entire meals from different continents!
Last Wednesday, the small group girls cooked a Korean dinner for us. Delicious! We had soup, egg on rice, tuna patties, and fried mushroom patties. It’s impossible to describe the flavor – just trust me that it tasted good!
For Independent Living class (basically Home Ec), a couple kids cooked an Italian dinner for us last Monday. We had tortellini tomato soup, pasta carbonara, and (not Italian) lemon angel food cake.
On Friday I was craving Mexican food, so I made Chipotle burritos. It was amazing. It may technically be American food, but either way it’s international!
Today, a Dutch student came over and cooked Chinese food (she grew up partly in China, so she knew how to make it the real way). I don’t remember the names – she said they translated to things like “Vegetable with thinly sliced meat” and “Vegetable with square meat.”
Then we made caramel apples and tried to eat them with chopsticks. That was humorous.
Maybe we should make some German food since we’re living in Germany…..
