Chips and dips
We
recently came by a generous consignment of tortilla chips. Although
they are readily available in shops here they are relatively new and
comparatively expensive. Most of the young people we work with had
never tried them before. It's fair to say most were not impressed
when they came out of the box last week.
This
week, in an attempt to spice up the taste experience, our local
colleague suggested we buy some salsa dip and make a more
local-orientated dip, by mixing sour cream and ajvar
– a relish made predominately from red peppers. This afternoon he
gave a short talk introducing the concept of dipping chips and I
joined him in a demonstration of how this is done.
To
their credit almost all the young people attending our Novi Most
youth club session gave this culinary novelty a try. The mild Mexican
salsa was deemed to hot and spicy by a few that I spoke to,
nevertheless a couple of bags of chips were happily munched through.
This
is just another example of a new experience we've been able to
provide young people in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It may be a small one
but they all count!
