Mixture of a meal

Our Spanish speaking group decided to finish our conversation season with a shared lunch at Marisa's at which every member of the group brought along a speciality from their own country. We each told the others, in Spanish, how our dish was made, as we sampled one another's cooking. Put together, these items made for the oddest meal, with Vichyssoise soup from France, prawn cocktail from Ireland, sushi from Japan, coated in sesame seeds, Pierogies from Poland, spring rolls and yuca cake from Indonesia, stuffed vine leaves from Romania, meat loaf from Canada and a sticky crême caramel flan from Venezuela. I contributed an English trifle which I decorated with pansies from my garden.
