Hi there Blog readers,
This is your master blogger writing once again, twice within a few days!
Wow! My English must be improving! Last Wednesday was the evening of the
International Feast yummy yums, with about twenty five of us gathered to
savour the food from all corners of the Globe. Thanks Joe for the chips,
bought just up the road. A little crisp this time Joe! There were flags
representing the different nationalities. I was personally taken aback with
the quality of the food presented. Chatting to the guests was a great
experience learning about their culinary skills and traditions. I adored
the raspberry pie from the USA and the crepes from France. Bad mannered
that I am I had the main course after dessert! It was a stupendous Czech
goulash prepared by a lovely student who arrived late. I had three
helpings! Well it assisted me in my hour of need because I don't have a
kitchen at home anymore! It has been turned into a building site and
hopefully will be rebuilt by the end of the month! The builder didn't say
which year though. Coming to BISC and eating three helping of goulash
chilled me down and gave me positive waves. It was a pity that the
International Feast was only for one night. I'm back living on a building
site now!
There was a dessert from Chile, which looking round at everyone scoffing,
appeared to be very popular as well as unusual. The chicken drumsticks
didn't last long. They came from a country called Somerfield just to the
north of BISC and to the North West of that strange medieval country call
The University Library.
If you had ordered what was prepared at the International Feast, in a
restaurant, it would have cost £220.00. But at BISC it was free. The
culinary talents were amazing. Such commitment and initiative coming from
our own International students and visitors was very encouraging, and they
are not even studying food technology at University. I just hope and pray
that you do equally as well if you are sitting exams this term. Remember
BISC is open lunchtime 1 to 2pm every week day from 18th May to 5th June,
when the BISC volunteers will be serving you. Finally a tip from the Blog
master who has considerable experience in sitting exams and as an examiner!
Before answering the question, read it full first, and read it a second and
third time, then only pick up your pen and answer the question set, not what
you may think it is! I trust that your God will be with you during the
examination period. Love, hugs and kisses, the Blog master.
