THE EUROPEAN FOOD DAY

Hello!!

We are the 6th A class, we have celebrated “The European Food Day”. In the last two years, we have met our friends from Belgium and Turkey. To know them better, we have celebrated this day.



From Belgium we have eaten gofres, The Belgian gofres (waffle) are prepared with a yeast leavened batter. It is generally, but not always, lighter, thicker, crispier, and/or has larger pockets compared to other gofre (waffle) varieties. In Belgium, they're served warm by street vendors, dusted with confectioner's sugar, and sometimes topped with whipped cream or chocolate spread.

From Turkey we have eaten Turkish delights is a confection made from starch and sugar. It is often flavored with rosewater and lemon, the former giving it a characteristic pale pink color. It has a soft, jelly-like and sometimes sticky consistency, and is often packaged and eaten in small cubes that are dusted with icing sugar or copra to prevent sticking. Some types contain small nut pieces, usually pistachio, hazelnut or walnuts. Other common types include flavors such as cinnamon or mint. In the production process soapwort may be used as an additive, serving as an emulsifier.

The delights and the gofres were delicious.
We would like to know more about them.
We’ll hope to repeat it another day.

Good- bye!!
