I live in the Central Valley of California which traditionally is a farming community. However, we seem to have a bevy of international farmers here; Germans, Basque, Japanese, Chinese, Hmong, Vietnamese, Italians, Danish, Greeks, Armenian, Mexicans and probably a lot of other nationalities I’m not aware of.
Consequently, we have a have an international choice of restaurants to choose from. Plus, we have celebrations throughout the year by different nationalities such as Cinco de Mayo (Mexican), a Basque Picnic, the Greek festival, and the Blessing of the grapes (Armenian) to just name a few. And I have to tell you there hasn’t been one of these events I’ve attended that I didn’t find some new food dish that I just loved.
School lunches brought from home are traded like crazy so our kids grow up liking and craving all kinds of foods I never heard of growing up in Denver Colorado. I just love living here.
