From Vietnamese pho to Greek halloumi flatbread to French crepes, there will be something for everyone at Montana State University’s annual International Food Bazaar on Wednesday, Feb. 18.
The event will be held in MSU’s Miller Dining Commons and Rendezvous Dining Pavilion from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. It is open to the public and requires paid admission to the dining halls.
Adult admission is $17 for entry into one dining hall or $25 for both dining halls. Admission for children ages 5-13 is $15; children up to age 4 are admitted free. Students with residential meal plans can access the bazaar by swiping their CatCard, as they would for a standard meal.
Culinary staples from more than 25 countries will be represented at the bazaar. MSU Culinary Services will prepare food for the event, which is put on with the support of the MSU Office of International Programs to celebrate the university’s diverse student body.
“The International Food Bazaar is a fantastic opportunity to bring people together through a shared experience — food — while celebrating the cultural and culinary traditions of our many wonderful international students,” said Sally Mudiamu, dean of global engagement and international programs at MSU. “The event embodies our international mission of ‘bringing Montana to the world and the world to Montana.’ We hope to foster conversation, curiosity and meaningful cross-cultural exchange through this decades-long tradition on campus.”
Miller Dining Commons will feature cuisine from Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, Argentina, Turkey, Greece, Brazil, Iran, India and Pakistan.
Rendezvous Dining Pavilion will feature dishes from Germany, Nepal, Ethiopia, Italy, China, Tanzania, Ghana, Nigeria, Uganda, Morocco, France, Sri Lanka and South Korea.
