Weekend 1: International Kids Festival, food

So, food is definitely somewhat of a situation for some of us in the family (me and Grace).  However, we really aren't doing poorly.  At the International Children's Festival they had several booths set up with vendors selling food.  Kind of a (very) much smaller Taste of Cincinnati - with food from different countries.  Jim made a rule that I wasn't allowed to get a hamburger...for real.

So, we ended up trying Tanzanian Chicken Kabob.  Which you see is a pita flat bread, with chicken and lettuce.  It was a little bigger than this, I just forgot to take a picture until after we had eaten part of it.  (sorry).  It was good.  Jim and I don't know why it was called anything with "kabob" in the name, but he ended up getting a second one and both times we got the sandwich, so no mistakes were made by us or them! 


We also ordered chicken on a stick, which you see Sarah trying below.  She is really pretty good about trying most things.  She may not eat them all, but she'll try it.  Chicken on a stick is fairly common here.  People buy it in the convenience marts...just like we buy hot dogs on the warming rollers...in Japan you buy Chicken on a Stick.  Oh - it may not actually be called that, but that is what Jim and I refer to it as!


And, finally.  I think this guy "throwing noodles" thought it was odd that I was taking his picture.  But, I wanted to show you this vendor who was boiling noodles, dipping them, straining them and then tossing them in a bowl while it was upside down in the air.  It was fun and festive.
