Teaching our gastronomic culture in Southside Christian School





This morning was special, The Mediterranean Corner had a different mission ....
Students in Spanish class of Southside Christian School, wanted to share their class time with me,
to learn a little more about gastronomic culture of our country.




It was very interesting because they were trying some  Mediterranean dishes, but also they learned cultural differences between American and Spanish gastronomic habits.

Some of them were surprised of the fact that people is cooking a lot  for daily meals, also they're amaze that many people go home and take their time eating during lunch in weekly days, and they learned the concept of "tapa", they like it.



They were eating"truites", "xorico", "pa amb tomaquet", and "flams".





They learned about red wines, holidays dishes, like Christmas desserts, and Easter cake, they learned about  sharing talks in the table after meals, the famous "siesta", and they got the opportunity to ask everything they want to know about Spain.








They have been practicing Spanish, and the truth is that I was impressed by their level.
