Heritage festival

Every year all etnic cultures in Edmonton present themselves at the Heritage Festival in Hawrelac Park. The Netherlands, of course, were also there. Joka has an very adequate description on her blog. I didn't feel like going, had worked hard on our land and was building a fire, but I was forced to go and there was another reason: haring met uitjes. Surprisingly there was no line-up for the herring and we could order ours without waiting. And they were good, nicely salted and tender. Johan had his on a bun, I like them the Dutch way.
We found out that for Indonesian food we will have to go to Calgary or Vancouver. Nothing here in Edmonton, bummer. Their booth was located next to the Dutch one and we had a nice chat with the quy who served us Rendang and Sate Ajam (including peanut-sauce and chilipaste, I believe its called sambal here too). So Vancouver here we come, pretty good for seafood too.
