We will have a cultural festival, highlighting a shared dish on Friday, May 25. Students will be assigned a food of choice on Monday, May 21. The dish could be made at home or purchased, as long as it:
1. demonstrates a highlighted and distinctive dish from a culture that the student identifies with through his/her ancestry.
2. Since most students have multiple heritages, students may choose which heritage they choose to highlight
3. The dish should feed at least 15 people and should be appetizer size.
4. It is encouraged to avoid overly sweet items, or very basic snack foods like chips or packaged candies.
5. Forks, cups and plates will be provided.
6. Service utensils should be supplied by the student.
7. A printed, one page typed description of the food should include:
a. 1 paragraph - A description of the culture and how the student is related to that culture
b. 2nd paragraph - A list of ingredients, written in list form and (optional):a basic recipe on how it is made
c. 3rd paragraph - where this food is typically eaten in the home culture, in the native country, and
d. 4th paragraph - how far the food has been incorporated into American Culture and where it is sold. It does not have to be a food that has been incorporated into American Culture, however.
