This exciting event, which has become an annual tradition, began in 1992 when a group of international students, all members of an international club sponsored by the French teacher, found themselves longing for culinary treats from their respective countries. In March of that year, a crew of eight students, some dressed in native costumes, shared their culinary talents and cuisine with the boarding students and faculty members. The tradition continued each year with students serving as many as 92 different and unique dishes from 34 countries, and as many as 550 guests.
Countries represented through delicious dishes in 2007 included: Burundi, Chile, China, Costa Rica, England, France, Germany, India, Italy, Ireland, Israel, Jamaica, Japan, Korea, Lithuania, Mexico, Morocco, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Poland, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Tanzania, Thailand and the United States.
