At a recent cooking night, there was Bulgarian salad, Zimbabwean stew, Indian vegetables and Russian potato salad. With this list of the types of food that most international students have at home, it is evident that it is healthy for the body, thus when most of them arrived here and were confronted with oily and greasy food stuff, it was a shock and a disappointment. However, most of them found ways of getting by, and they soon got used to it.
This occasion not only provides a chance for international students to cook their traditional food but also gives time for international students to bond with each other. It provides international students with the privilege of cooking the food that they miss from home and thus eliminate homesickness. It gives international students a chance to be closer to home through food. On top of that, cooking nights also gives international students an alternative to campus dining food, which most of them don’t really like. Most international students claim that Trinity dining food lacks taste and is not healthy for the body. Therefore, with cooking nights, international students get to escape campus dining facilities and eat as if they were home.
Cooking days broaden knowledge about other cultures food and it also provides international students with the opportunity of tasting new and different cuisines. It’s an event organized by the International committee, thus showing that they are doing their job and are always seeking ways of making an international student’s life here at trinity easy and feel more like home.
