The Picnic is an opportunity to sample the foods of the world! Caribbean Roti. Portuguese Piri Piri chicken. Italian Pizza. Adoha from the Philippines are just some of the dishes that can be sampled at the Scotiabank CHIN International Picnic.
This summer, there are dozens and dozens of food kiosks. They will be serving international dishes, along with the traditional picnic foods of opportunities to buy hot dogs, hamburgers and corn on the cob too!
Don’t recognize these foods and crave normal Toronto street fare? For the record Roti is Caribbean favourite that uses unleavened bread wrap and has fillings including chicken, vegetables and beef. Piri is a hot Portuguese chili spice that chicken is cooked in. Adoha is a national Philippine dish that braises chicken and/or pork in garlic, vinegar, oil and soya sauce. The world famous Pizza Pizza company is not only serving through the festival but is also one of the sponsors of the Picnic!
