聖三一希臘節
地方性遺產

您想試吃其他文化的食物嗎


試吃新食物的絕佳地點是博覽會或慶典。德拉瓦州維明頓市每年六月都會舉辦為期四天的聖三一希臘節,這個節慶剛開始時,只是一個專賣手工藝品及禮物的聖誕節市集,由
Piloptochos協會的希臘婦女團體所發起。這樣看來,它與其他眾多 活動無異,但最大的驚喜在於希臘酥皮點心最吸引大眾,因此在下一年,他們在市集中加入了更多的希臘食物;很快地,食物就成為這個市集中的主要吸引人之部份!

這個市集主辦單位,決定要將這個聚會改到春天,並將它改為一個慶祝活動,焦點則放在希臘食物、舞蹈及文化;現場身穿希臘民族服飾的當地舞者,使得這個節慶感覺起來就像是一個真正的希臘村落慶典。也許有天,您能夠參加希臘節日,然後您將會說出「Diaskeda'same Poli'!(意即玩得真盡興!)。


Do you like to try food from other cultures?

A great place to try new foods is at fairs or festivals. The Holy Trinity Greek Festival in Wilmington, Delaware, is held over four days each June. The festival began as a Christmas bazaar by the Piloptochos Society, a Greek women's organization, to sell crafts and gifts. In this way it was similar to many other events, but the one big surprise was that the Greek pastries were the most popular attraction. So, the next year they added more Greek food to the bazaar. Soon the food was the main attraction!

The organizers decided to move the event to the springtime and turned it into a festival with the focus on Greek food, dancing, and culture. The event has the feel of an authentic Greek village festival with performances by local dancers dressed up in Greek regional costumes. Maybe you can go to a Greek festival someday and you will be able to say, "Diaskeda'same Poli'!" (We had a lot of fun).
