That’s right, our interns are still here, and tonight they put on an “HUC Taste Sensation”, an evening of tastes and talk. Here are the 5 categories we tasted with our Top 5 Favorites:
1. Hummus - We chose Ben Sira (it was between Abu Shukri and Ben Sira)
2. Drinks - We chose the chocolate milk from Yotvata
3. Fruit - We chose the dried strawberries with the fresh grapes as a close second
4. Cheese - How can we choose? (Honestly just don’t remember the different types of cheese), but obviously that really tasty fresh cheese was best. You know the one?
5. Rugelach - We chose Marizpan, no question (it was between Pe’er and Marzipan)
