fifth day

The main topic for this day was: food. We were trying to focus mainly on cooking traditional dishes from each country, slow food and local products. At the morning Kasia - one of leaders from Poland prepared for us workshops. In groups we discussed slow food, GMO, organic farming, limits pf the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, food miles and why these issues are so important nowadays for health of soils, ecosystems and people. Our knowlege in this area was really various and that helpd us to learn more from each other. At the end each participant got eco-bag with logo of our exchange to use it instead of plastic bags.

For turn words into action after workshop we went together to the local market to buy fresh local fruit, vegetables, eggs ect. For our guest it was a great possibility to train polish language skills as well ;)

After groceries we could finally start doing mess in the kitchen :) Four teams from each country did their best to prepare some delicious food. We spent whole afternoon with pots and pans, and everyone was so excited about trying all these yummy things during the dinner.

Finally we did so many things that it was hard to find a place in the tables to put it there. We had pizza, baccalà al latte,  bruschette mix,  fresh egg pasta, tiramisu, pasta alla norma, pasta alla bottarga and baccalà alla vicentina from different parts of Italy, gazpacho, spanish omelette - tortilla de patatas and sangría from Spain, paprikás krumpli (potatoe with paprika) from Hungary, and gołąbki, leniwe, kapusta kiszona and babka marchewkowa from Poland. Celebrating this last dinner together was fantastic!
