Happy Heritage Day!!

As mentioned in this post from a year ago, I love the Heritage Day Holiday Weekend!  In its honour this year, I celebrated in the following ways:

-- Hosted the annual church ladies' backyard potluck supper, where I forced them to not only bring a dish from their heritage (or some other fun nationality), but also to have their picture taken wearing hats from other countries.

-- went crazy experimenting with several different recipes for said potluck.

-- attended the Heritage Day Festival with Son 1A, where we used up every last food ticket we had tasting samples from around the world.

-- served a Sunday dinner including dishes from eight different countries.  Admittedly, some of those dishes were small servings of leftovers from my earlier experiments.

And before I sign off, here's one last thing I'd like to do in honour of the Heritage Day Holiday:

--put together an international food quiz for anyone who might happen to read this post. (Which I realize might not be anyone, as it's been soooooooo long since I've lasted posted.)


DIRECTIONS:

Give yourself one point if you can name the dish.
Give yourself one point if you can name the country/area where this dish originated.
There is a possible 24 points.
Answers available at end of quiz.



























Hope you got a high score!

P.S.  After re-reading this post, I realize that it seems like I only love this holiday for the food.  That's not true.  I love the people.  I love the cultural performances.  But ....... okay, yes ....... I really do love the food!
