Rae French, International Programs Learning Abroad Advisor, thought the Food from the Four Corners of the Globe was one of the best received in several years. “I think the Chinese/Japanese area has been one of the most popular along with India/Pakistan,” said French. “One is kind of sweet, the other is more curry.”
The dishes include Borshch, a beef and vegetable soup and Varenyky (Ukraine) a potato dumpling; Cantonese Steamed Milk Egg Pudding (China), very similar to crème brulee; Oyakodon (Japan), with consists of white rice, chicken and eggs; Chicken Tikka Masala and Chicken Biryani (India/Pakistan); Beef Pepper Soup and Chicken Stew (Nigeria).
