What do you know about International Passport Day?
As Stern students, we are very proud of the diverse and multi-cultural nature of our student body. We have students from over 40 countries all over the world. At the International Passport Day, we really get to take advantage of this! You can enjoy the great tastes of traditional foods from all over the world. Also, you can enjoy cultural traditions, performances, songs, dances, and music that you might not otherwise.
This year, Passport Day will be held at the Gould Plaza on April 18th (Monday) from 4:30pm to 6:30pm. Do you think it is too early to talk about it? No!! You need to make a big, big space in your stomach for food from 40 countries! Can you imagine how amazing it will be? Maybe not!
In the weeks to come we will give you some hints on how to create a good image of what it will be like. For every issue of the Oppy until April 18, we will provide you a recipe of each country's traditional food and also recommend a restaurant for you to try. You can try a country's cuisine either by cooking or visiting.
For the first issue, Yael, an MBA1 from Israel; Masa, an MBA1 from Japan; and Dan, my roommate MBA2 from Canada, are giving you a great info. Don't ask me if Canada has a traditional food, he will let you know!
Enjoy it!!

Introduction: What is Israeli food? That's definitely a very difficult question, as it is actually the combination of Jewish food from different origins: the Ashkenazi (Eastern European) tradition and the Sephardi tradition. Where as the Ashkenazi's like sweet flavors, the Sephardi people prefer spicy ones. Therefore different people have various memories of mom's (and dad's) kitchen and kindergarten food. The gaps could lead to divorce and hard violence! Or going out to eat Sushi - that's always a good compromise.
