Community dinners don’t have to mean fish fries or chicken pie suppers. At North End Studio’s Global Burlington International Dinner Series, they could mean tah chin, momos or, in the case of last Sunday’s dinner, nafaqo.
The monthly dinners are a joint venture between North End Studios, the Vermont Council on World Affairs and the Vermont International Festival. And for $15, I got my money’s worth last Sunday.
Abukar Mohamed of the African Safari Store and Deli at 78 North Street brought a feast from the market’s tiny kitchen to feed the appropriately international group of diners. I sat between guests from Holland, England and the Congo and talked to fellow attendees who work regularly in Norway and South America.
But Somali cuisine was new to nearly everyone.
