Mercy George served Indian food, including tandoori chicken, samosas and butter chicken. She said cooking is her passion, so she takes any opportunity for other people to taste her food.

“It’s really a great opportunity, Taste of Culture, for all the people to come and try all different nationalities’ food, otherwise where do you go try them? It’s really nice,” she said.

George is also starting a small catering and takeout business that her husband was promoting at the event. She said she has some loyal customers and really appreciates the responses she gets when people try her food, so she’s considering expanding.

Some attendees came from out of town to visit the event, including Szilvia Kalmar, who came from Winnipeg to take part. She and her husband served Hungarian food which included gulyas and langos. She’ll also plans to pull double duty at the event this weekend as part of a Hungarian dance group. Her group Maros Folk Ensemble will perform Friday and Saturday afternoon.

Along with the food booths, the event also featured a small marketplace with crafts, art and a woman doing henna tattoos. A Taste of Culture continues Friday and Saturday, beginning at 11 a.m. each day.
