International Food Festival

I had a great time cooking with my friends some paraguayan food for the festival. It was great, 24 countries were represented and I could say that I have no problems to eat around the world. I couldn't taste all the food (24 is a quite big number, and besides, I was busy selling my own food).

I shared one stand with Flore and Darlene. It was nice because we were already friends and had no problems to share. Flore and I started preparing the food the night before because we had to make it for 100 people :O but fortunately Monette and Yen helped us and we learned others countries' recipes, sung a lot together, danced too ;) We converted the kitchen into a mini dance floor.

The food was all sold, people liked our stuff (at least that's what they said) and we had the opportunity to travel without moving.

Our menu was:

1. Fried bananas with sardines in tomato sauce (Ivory Coast)
2. Fried bananas with chicken and pork (Ivory Coast)
3. Peanut soup with rice (Ivory Coast)
4. Black rice with beans (Haiti)
5. Empanadas de carne y huevo (Paraguay)

Drinks

1. Bissap juice (bissap + pineapple + strawberry + mint) (Ivory Coast) * Reccommended it's really good
2. Mate cocido (cold version) (tea made of Yerba Mate and sugar) (Paraguay) *Delicious with milk

Some pictures !!
