V INTERNATIONAL FOOD AND CULTURAL DAY

In the week of May 2 to 5, we celebrate the week of the Feast of LaSalle, in honor of our patron Saint John Baptist de La Salle.

It is an atypical week, where every day the Student Council and all the different entities and clubs of our campus organise activities to entertain all the students in the campus.

As it is already a tradition, the International Club La Salle (CILS), organise  an event where the international students of the campus had the opportunity to show their own culture to the entire university, like a teleportation. Each country organised a “stand”  with images, food and drinks typical of their countries of origin. That is, which stand had the objective to be a mini-atmosphere of  the country. As a motivating factor, we made the gastronomic sample as a competition, so the judges valued the decor, the quantity of dishes and of course, the quality of the food.

This year the participation of the students was incredible. People from Lebanon, Mexico, Venezuela, Guatemala, Ecuador, Catalonia, U.S.A., U.K., Japón, Thailand, Peru, Norway, France and of course Spain, everybody making a great food and beautiful stand. During the event, we could travel around flavours and flavours all around the world.

Was possible to start the journey tasting a typical English Tea, after, jumping to Asia Stand, taste the space Pad Thai, than you could jump to Mexico to try their Guacamole and to finish the meal, a quickly pass on Lebanon stand to a desert that taste roses. They were all amazing, made with love and care. The decoration of the stands was very good, with flags, typical images, instruments and games of each country. 

After a long discussion, various flavours, a lot of food and drink, our judge sit to have a long discussion about the winners. This time was almost impossible to choose the prizes, all the food were amazing, all the stands were beautiful and made by love. This year the judge choose to put only two places, but each one with a tie.  

FIRST PLACE : ASIA AND MEXICO

SECOND PLACE: VENEZUELA AND LEBANON

We want to thank all the people who helped in the organization of the stands and the logistics of the exhibition, in addition to all the attendees. We are waiting for you next year in the 6th edition.
