Our media intern at Evergreen Campus, Mariam interviewed an AWESOME FEEST regular, Sanyasen about her experience at dinner.
This week at Evergreen, we did things a little bit differently. We teamed up to create some cultural recipes to submit to Highline Public Schools to be considered for a school lunch menu item! Here is what Sanyasen thought about this activity:
Q: What was your favorite cultural dish?
A: The tortilla wrap was my favorite dish tonight. I loved the way it tasted and how the spices were on point. It was easy to make and simple to prepare. I really enjoyed making it overall and eating it at dinner.
Q: What cultural dish did you prepare tonight?
A: Tonight, I prepared the egg dish. This dish took a long time to prepare because it had many ingredients to it. One thing I loved from this dish was that it went well with the cultural bread called Jabaati. The dish was very good in taste although it took the most time to prepare.
Q: What did you learn tonight from these dishes?
A: I learned a lot from these dishes. I learned that most of the cultural dishes made tonight came from Somali culture and Somali descent.
Q: What dish did you vote to possible add to the school menu?
A: I voted for the tortilla dish to be on the school menu because I think many students would like it for lunch. I also think it is very cultural for everyone and anyone can try it!
