First things first, the International Gasque!
On Feb. 22 I went to my first gasque! It's basically a super fancy dinner with singing, entertainment, and just general silliness. It was so fun to get all dressed up for a night out. The gasque was only for international students, obviously, so it was nice because they taught us everything we need to know for future gasques. To give you an idea of the fancy level of the food, I'll explain our meal. We had a cheese pie as a starter with caviar and sour cream. Weird combination. I think I only like cheese and sour cream together if it's on a baked potato. But I tried caviar! It was gross. For our main entree we had a very rare and tender porter marinated beef fillet with cheesy potatoes. So the potatoes weren't that fancy but they were delicious. And for dessert we had white chocolate mousse. Along with the fancy food, we had about 6 different types of alcohol throughout dinner.
I mentioned the singing. The Swedes enjoy singing at events like this and once a song is complete, it is customary to cheers with everyone around you and then take a sip. The songs are all in Swedish, so everyone struggled to sing them but it was fun! It was all silly and
I don't have many pictures of the gasque. (I really need to get better at taking pictures!) But here are a couple!
