International dinners

Once every 2 or 3 weeks ESN Groningen organizes an international dinner at the GSP building (Kraneweg 33). The idea is that a group of students cooks food from their respective country. ESN Groningen helps getting groceries (and pays them), cooking, doing dishes and we will sell the tickets. We have already seen some amazing dinners in previous years, such as African, Mexican, Spanish, British, Russian, American, French, Greek, and Chinese and of course a Dutch dinner!
