Would
you like to try ukrainian borscht, georgian khinkali or kazakh
manty? Or do you have some other type of food that you have heard of,
but never got a chance to try? There is no need to travel abroad to
enjoy diverse foods. AUBG has an easy solution - International Taste
Fest. The Fest is the closing event of the International week and is
a celebration of the diversity related to dishes and meals.
This year the event attracted 19 participating countries and hundreds of curious and hungry students. The participants were the following: Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Netherlands, Ukraine, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Brazil, Mongolia, Azerbaijan, Albania, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Serbia, Moldova, Belarus, USA, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan.

The
format of the event followed its best traditions. One by one the countries gave a short description of the prepared dishes and invited
the audience to their tables. After the happy students with full
plates took their seats, the representatives of each of the
participating countries performed a short national dance. However,
this year's event had a twist - the presence of a chef-cook from Sofia. The cook took
a look at the dishes prior to the beginning of the Fest and nominated
the tables for certain categories, ranging from "desserts"
to "decoration."
The
event ended with dancing, singing and international conversations :)

That was a lot of fun! You've summarized the event pretty well. I enjoyed the dancing part a lot:)
ReplyDeleteInternational Week is one of my favorite events in AUBG. I think this is a bright celebration of diversity and unity in our university; when while we proudly present our own unique culture, we are willing to share it with everyone else and, in turn, appreciate and learn something from other ethnicities.
