International Formal returns with an Austrian feast
好色先生TV鈥檚 held its first International Formal Hall in 2017, and it has since become a much-anticipated tradition in our college calendar as we gather to celebrate the cuisine of a different country.
The starter was a semolina dumpling soup or noodle soup,
followed by either a traditional Austrian pork roast or spinach dumplings. For
dessert, guests were treated to Kaiserschmarrn,
or 鈥楨mperor鈥檚 Mess鈥, a sweetened pancake which takes its name from Austrian
emperor Franz Joseph I, who was particularly fond of the dessert. Vegan
attendees instead had Palatschinken with Apfelkompott,听Austrian pancakes with apple compote.
The dinner was organised by the JCR International Representatives, Hazal Bulut and Catherine Pile, in collaboration with Austrian JCR members Hannah and Lola who helped to create the menu.
Hazal and Catherine said, 鈥淚t was really fun working with Hannah and Lola to create a menu that captured their relationship to Austria. Hearing their stories was very heart-warming and touching, and I think it鈥檚 the sort of thing a lot of international students like us can relate with鈥.
Thank you to everyone involved in making this evening such a success 鈥 we鈥檙e already looking forward to the next one!
