Grub’s up! Irish food at the EU Picnic!
This year, to celebrate Europe Day, the Irish Embassy, together other 20 other embassies, participated in the first EU picnic in front of the Saeima (parliament) building. The picnic was organised by the European Committee of Saeima and was opened by the Speaker of the Saeima, Daiga Mieirina. The event was open to the public and many people came to sample the different foods prepared by the embassies.
It was wonderful to celebrate this special day with many different EU nations, who had come together to share and enjoy their cultural and gastronomic offerings.
On the Irish menu was Irish beef stew, brown soda bread and tea brack. Everything was eaten!
