Following on from a spring cleaning session to while away a hangover and our Sunday night sesh in Belgique, tonight I am hosting a Multicutural dinner. Present will be delegates from Scotland, Bulgaria, Moldovia and New Zealand.
The menu originally intended to reflect lots of samples of the cuisine from these nations, but I failed in an attempt cook meringues, so the New Zealand dish of Pavlova went tits up.(Let's be honest, the failure was predicated on my attempt to rush things and get a last orders beer in before bad after slaving away in the kitchen) So the menu is as follows:
Oatcakes and cheese:
Scotch Broth:
Then the main courses, was a kind of Tapas of various things:
Shopska Salata:
Moldovian Potato Salad:
Butter bean Bulgarian Hot Pot(I misread the ingredients, so it turned out to be green bean)
Bulgarian Tarator:
And of course......
Haggis:
The music for the evening is also multicultural, I've scoured the library and come up with various traditional and pop music from all the countries, this includes:
National Anthems,
Crowded House
Split Endz
O-Zone
Wikeda
The Proclaimers
By the time that lot is eaten up, no one has any room for the desert options, so we settle for an Irish Coffee:
Everyone seems to be pretty satisfied, and we arrange to show the Moldovian girl some of Amsterdam during her stay, as the Bulgarian Bride and Obi Wan are off to Sofia on Saturday.
