On Friday evening, 15 March, the RCSI Exam Hall was transformed into an Epicurean paradise for the Gourmet Society's annual International Food Night, a major event in this year's inaugural Cultural Diversity Month.

The nights' main event pitted each country against one another, to impress the judges across six categories (Appetizer, Main Dish, Dessert, Vegetarian Dish, Decorated Stall and Best Dish) setting the stage for a belly-busting competition. The judges were impressed by the taste, quality and abundance of the dishes and commended all of the participants on their efforts.

In addition to the delicious range of dishes prepared by the 11 participating regions, other entertainment on the night was supplied by the Gourmet Society (with a Pie Eating contest and Doughnut Race), as well as a Surf Simulator to test your balance. Music from Luke Reilly and the Music Society provided the perfect atmosphere for an evening full of flavour!

International Food Night continues to be one of the most inclusive and highly anticipated nights of the year, with the committee members from the Gourmet Society pulling out all the stops to ensure a memorable occasion for everyone in attendance.
