wire wrapped jewelry. The bicycle smoothie
machines will also be present.
There may even be some surprise entertainment
concerning the llamas, so make sure to come out
and attend for a lot of fun, music, delicious food
and more!

International
cuisine in Myers

salad bar. Themed dinners like these are a nice
way for campus dining to literally spice up the
routine of what is served and to celebrate global
food culture—even if such a spread may cost
more to create, as campus dining director Sarjit
Singh acknowledges.
The international offerings in Myers last week,
and the countries they represent, were paella
with shrimp (Spain), jaegerschnitzel (Germany),
Swedish meatballs (Sweden), linguini noodles
(France), stout stew (Scotland), feijoada (a pork
and black beans entree from Brazil), ginger tofu
and vegetables (Japan) and polio guisado (a rice
and pea dish from Puerto Rico).
Desserts included
eclairs and squares of
Black Forest cake.
The international dinner
was not limited just to
food, however. In addition
to the fare from around the
world in the buffet line,
students from a number
of different nations were
dining in the Caf that
evening. One country,
Denmark, was heavily
represented by exchange
students attending
Brevard High School.
Lisa Monahan, a campus
dining employee and also
a house host to two of
the 25 exchange students
staying in homes throughout Transylvania
County, explained, “They are here to see what
America is like and what the American lifestyle
is like, and everybody does everything a little
differently.”
The next themed dinner, “Grassical,” is
scheduled for Thursday, April 11. Menu plans
for this “Spring Test” include a buffet of tropical
salad, Hawaiian pasta salad, sweet pineapple
buns, fruit salad in a watermelon boat, grilled
com, white sticky rice, Hawaiian sweet potatoes,
sauteed fresh vegetables, teriyaki grilled
chicken, sweet chili shrimp saute, mini teriyaki
tofu cakes and egg foo young and an ice cream
sundae bar.
