The Global Village last night was a really fun time, despite it being crowded and hot. The Americans represented with home-made apple pie (not by my mom sadly, but the reviews were outstanding), chocolate chip cookies (not mine), peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on white bread (which as discussed previously is absolutely foreign to the outside world), and our pancakes, which after some hesitation about what to do with the syrup, were gone in an hour.
Other countries had yummy goodness as well. The Finnish made homemade donuts, the Brazilians had spectacular homemade candies and a variation on hot dogs which was kind of like a bean and frankfurter chili then topped with potato chips, corn and peas. Interesting huh? I had taziki (sp?) from Greece, a bean and cheese bruchetta thing with guac and salsa from Mexico, a yummy fried meat thing from an African country (sorry, can't remember which one) and an interesting salad from Russia. There were way more countries than that represented, but food goes fast when it is free, so I didn't get to taste everything. Thankfully I have friends from all these places, so if I really want more I can just have them come over for dinner!
