A lunch by any other name
OK, so I am a food junkie. My other passion is cooking and I love to eat and try new things.
I hit the jackpot today. I know a lot of places have an ethnic festival or culture festival. This weekend is Kansas City's Ethnic Enrichment Festival. I went and had a great time, every booth was for a different country and every booth sold ethnic food. There was a lot of stuff, and thanks to the flyer they handed out, I can remember all I had. Here is the list.
Brazil
Feiddada - pork and black bean stew, served with a side of rice, bread crumbs and an orange slice.
Brazilian cheese bread
Columbia
Empanada (meat pie)
Fried plantain
Croatia
Povitico - rolled bread with a nut butter.
cheese streudel
India
Samosa - fried potato and spice ball
Laos
Chicken kabob
Fried rice
Mexico
Tamales
Norway
Lefse - thin flat bread, similar to tortilla with ham and jarlsburg cheese
Pakistan
Rice Biryani - rice with a lot of Curry and other spices
Chicken Tikka
Turkey
Doner (like a gyro stuffed in a pita pocket)
Baklava
Ukraine
Varenyky - fried potato and cheese dumpling
So what did you have for lunch?
side note: I did have some help. Most of the portions were very small, and we ordered this stuff between 4 of us and took bites of everything.
