International Dinner at Home Boudewijn

On Wednesday night (after making waffles) we had the International Dinner here at Home Boudewijn, because the kitchens here are the largest of all the student residences (and our group is getting large!). It started off well; I managed to source tables and chairs for the 20 people that were showing up. But then the fire alarm went off just as people began to arrive! So we had to go through the evacuation process, which took far too long and the warden informed us that we would all have burnt to death if it had been a real fire. At least I know where the fire escape is now!

The dinner was great, we had a really tasty variety of food from all over the place – Italian pasta, lentils and pork, Hungarian chicken, Turkish pastry and meat, French salad, Ecuadorian salad, German leek and pasta dish, Greek dessert. I made garlic bread and offered some Marmite to people who wanted a little try. I got some great photos of people’s responses to the taste, so it was worth the sacrifice of a little of my precious marmite to share with everyone!

Don't think anyone really liked the Marmite, but it was funny to watch them try all the same. All in all a good eating day - with the waffles and the dinner! ;)
