| South Korean Dishes (Pix-Hemant K) |
Jawaharlal
Nehru University, which is one of the premier institutes of the country, has
students flocking not only from India but from other countries too. Wherein,
there is healthy exchange of ideas, talents and culture etc. JNU's Foreign
Students' Association organized an International Food Fest on 26th
of January, 2012, which undoubtedly brought out the significance of food as a
part of culture. It gave a sense of identity to the international students and
platform to showcase their culture, broadening India’s unity in diversity.

The
crowd gathered in the international food fest showed their curiosity towards
other cultures, as one of the M.A. student gorging on South Korean food said,
“I have always been curious about Korean dishes. Event like this should not be
missed.” There was immense crowd, giving
a busy time for students who were volunteering for the event. It was a great
opportunity for the students, faculty and outsiders to get access to whole
variety of food at a reasonable price. Students who could not make it this time
are waiting for the next fest.
Some of the countries which
found representation in the fest included Bangladesh, Vietnam, South Korea,
Palestine, China, Iran, Syria, Nepal, Tibet and several others. Armenian dishes
like; Pasuts Dolma, Artsakh, and Lobov Aghtsan, and the delicious Tibetan
mutton curry cooked in traditional way could not escape the compliments of the
people. South Korean dishes like Gimbab, which is a popular Korean dish made
from steamed white rice (bap) and various other ingredients, rolled in gim (sheets
of dried laver seaweed) and served in bite-size slices and Kimchi, which is a
traditional fermented Korean dish made of vegetables with varied seasonings was
a huge hit.
All in all, the International Food Fest was an event
successive in true sense of the term.
