This annual event hosted by Church Unlimited at its premises on Friday night, showcased more than 30 stalls with food from all around the world.

Each station offered food from a different country. Each small dish, priced between R5 and R35, was there to titillate your taste buds. The teams manning the stations also dressed up according to the theme.

A major crowd favourite was the Moroccan and Mexican stalls which sold Moroccan spicy lamb and avocado stuffed with pulled pork.

Both were sold out by 19:00, only an hour after the event started. Other stalls included that of Pakistan, which offered beef and chicken curry as well as samosas; England which offered Eton Mess as well as two South African stalls where traditional puddings, pumpkin fritters and chicken wings were available.

According to organiser Etienne Garnett-Bennett, this year’s turnout was the biggest thus far with more than 5 000 people attending.

“It is all about bringing the community together and having a brilliant time with good food,” Garnett-Bennett said.

He added that they have seen people coming from as far as Pretoria to attend the event. Joke and Danie de Koning attended their very first Food Fair.

“We are absolutely overwhelmed and the food is amazing,” the pair said.

Past Kuda Zumbika said even he was “blown away by the number of people”. He noted that even though this was not a fundraiser, the proceeds of the event would be going to the local non-governmental organisation, Sinani.

This organisation aims to support community initiatives that feed and care for orphans, vulnerable communities and widows.
