Last Wednesday after visiting the National Museum of Art, I walked over to the Plaza of Santo Domingo where the International Food Fair was still going strong with large lunchtime crowds.
I had been here the previous week, and I returned to sample the food from a few different booths. I started with some couscous with vegetables from the Moroccan booth.
I continued on to the Haitian booth where I had a meat turnover.
From the Dominican Republic I had the "pastelón de papa", a ground beef and potato casserole.
From Bulgaria I had a red, stuffed pepper with a yogurt-garlic topping.
None of the dishes were all that great. I guess my Polish ancestry from my father's side called me to Poland's booth where I had kielbasa and onion and a bun.
I don't know where the food section of the fair was located previously. I know that the FICA (Feria Internacional de Culturas Amigas) has been going on for 10 years, and that the main venue has been the Zocalo.
Hi William,
ReplyDeleteDo you know if this is the same fair that used to occupy several blocks of Reforma leading up to El Angel?
