I had forgotten, once upon a time I had wanted to do cultural dinner parties. Invite friends and friends-of-friends to a dinner party and everyone brings a surprise dish from a pre-determined culture. It ends in a mish-mash but at least you have a spread of a protein, a starch, a few veggies, an appetizer, a beverage, a dessert - or something to that effect...Maybe I should bring this up to a few people and see if I can really get one off the ground.
Wanna come?
Let's do it!
My parents have been part of this book club for probably 40 years, same couples, they meet once a month and whoever hosts always cooks a meal related to the book. The ones I know they've had the most fun with are ones from other places/cultures. I think it is mostly an excuse to get together and eat (I know my dad hardly ever reads the book) but it could be a cool way to also learn more about the culture represented by the food? I am definitely a firm believer that food is a major pathway for cultural connections-- we all love to eat!!!
