In Our Own Words -<br />
Embracing Culture<br />
We asked FAWCO and FAUSA members about the most important aspects<br />
of cultures in their lives – home and away.<br />
Here is a selection of their answers ...<br />
What tradition or other aspect of culture from<br />
your homeland do you miss the most when<br />
you live abroad? Have you been able to replicate that<br />
tradition in other countries where you have lived?<br />
Anitra Kitts, FAWCO Rep, Munich IWC<br />
I miss good Mexican food, proper brown sugar<br />
and thick bacon. I’ve been known to cure my own<br />
pork belly when the craving is high… Dungeness<br />
Crab and the Copper River Salmon run.<br />
Brenda Brinkley, FAUSA President<br />
Brenda figured out how to replicate her favorite<br />
Mexican dishes:<br />
“After talking with FAWCO club members from<br />
Bern, I learned where to purchase Spanish rice,<br />
pinto and refried beans, and that Aldi had the<br />
best cheddar cheese! We learned to make our own<br />
Mexican meals - without the fries and mayo...and<br />
we may have had the only cast iron tortilla press<br />
in town."<br />
Coffee anyone?<br />
Ethiopian<br />
coffee ceremony<br />
