BISC has been blessed with a number of South/Central American students this year, particularly from Mexico. The Hispanic Fiesta started with songs and guitar music with a distinctively Mexican flavour. Doris, Seb, Becky & Gabriel sang and entertained, then a delicious feast of tapas was served. Plates were piled high with jamon Serrano (Spanish ham), patatas bravas (spicy potatoes), pimientos rellenado de queso (stuffed sweet red peppers), pisto, and of course tortilla Española. This was followed by some delicious Portuguese puddings, accompanied by some beautiful strumming in the background. We also enjoyed a traditional Mexican game of piñatas; which involves smashing large papier mache objects filled with confetti and sweets. Of course the evening would not have been complete without some dancing and Luis from Mexico helped us to master the Latin rhythms!Many thanks to Izzy, Carmen, Clemence, Patrick, Seb, Gabriel, Doris and Chloe for all the help we received with coking, singing and piñata making.
