Diversity Festival & Potluck Dinner





















It was approximately 15 years ago to be exact. I went to a diversity festival at Manchester Community College (MCC) and saw a lot of souvenirs of the different countries. I saw Jamaican food and listened to some Reggae music. I remember listening to a lady play some songs on her guitar. I was mainly browsing inside the old Lowe Building at MCC. I happened to visit a table where the Puerto Ricans were at and noticed some of the food that the Puerto Ricans made. However, I didn't feel led to try any of the Puerto Rican food, instead I went to the Jamaican food table and noticed that they had beef patties and cocoa breads. Whether you are experimenting and browsing you want to make sure that you want to write about the most interesting things whether it's a potluck dinner or a diversity festival.


Speaking of potluck dinner, I enjoyed it very much eating all the free food that was at the potluck dinner! The potluck dinner was held at the Rotunda in the MCC new building. I remember before everyone ate, there were a couple of introductory. The music came from the bagpipes from the people who were from Scotland. The Scottish people did their famous Scottish dance and we all applauded. At this potluck dinner were the following food: Collard greens, macaroni and cheese, baked chicken, beef patties, etc. I think what made this such a great experience was the desserts that they had that were really good. I tried a piece of Oreo cake, chocolate chip cookies (my favorite cookies), brownies, chocolate cake, chocolate chip & peanut butter brownies, and I will never forget eating granola topped with blueberries and strawberries. My only regret that I had was that I didn't try the chip platter which I heard was very delicious! I really enjoyed the potluck dinner because when I heard that this was the first time that there was going to be food at this potluck, I just knew I had to try out the food!
