Straight after seminar class, me and a my friends decided we would attend a Latin Heritage Event that took place on the second floor for our first enrichment workshop. We got there early so we were lucky enough to be greeted with tamales before they ran out.  Coming from a Mexican household, tamales was not a new food that I would be trying but it was still interesting tasting tamales coming from different countries. They definitely differed in taste and the way that they were made which surprised me because they were nothing like the tamales that I ate at home. Tamales is a common Latin American food but it was nice seeing how different parts of the world prepare this popular food with their own unique style. One of the main highlights of that event was witnessing my friends try tamales for the first time ever. It was really funny seeing them try new food that I am accustomed to. It was interesting listening to their intakes and opinions on tamales, all while comparing it to similar foods from their culture and household. We talked about our cultures foods and I was shocked when one of my friends said that they really didn’t enjoy the tamales as much as they would have liked to. The overall setting of the event was really welcoming along with our fellow Baruch students that participated in organizing the events. One particular aspect that caught my eye immediately was the arrangement of all the Latin American country flags by the event. I recall spotting my country’s flag along with the many others that were hung which was a nice thing to see. Overall I would say this was an amazing experience that I was fortunate enough to experience early on in college and it was nice seeing that there’s a lot of Baruch students that share the same culture as I do.
