The Feasts of SteemFest 2!

Day 1 @ Centro Cultural de Belem

A sweet spread set out to receive us, giving the Steemians a chance to nosh & network before a day of presentations.

It started with creamy & delicious pastels de nata

with other pastries,

coffee,

(lots of coffee,)

(lots & lots & lots of coffee,)

and nibbly little things.

Then after a morning of presentations, they served an abundant lunch!

deliciousness @quinneaker

Twas a lovely spread of all kinds of tasty treats!

I think these were octopus balls rolled in sesame seeds.

These little fried fish cakes were made with cod & mashed potatoes.

Cute little veggie wontons

Bite-sized egg frittatas with greens

And more fried meat options! These are crispy and I think made with pig. @juanmiguelsalas was stoked to see them; he said his grandmother used to make them :)

Ham & cheese sandwiches

Creamy apple salad

But the best part was the fresh fruit! This is pineapple.

Mango

Kiwis!

Papaya

Juicy, bright, sweet, tart, fresh living FRUIT!

As you can see, food was plentiful and quite nice at SteemFest 2 - and this was only half of Day 1!

That feels like enough to digest, so I'll share more in a later post :)

For anyone who follows the @gardenofeden, you know that sharing food is one of our favorite things to do! It's profound to join in quality company while eating; the matter & energy we consume becomes our physical bodies. It's a meaningful social act to have a meal together, and I'm grateful to share the feasts with you here on the blockchain so even more people can enjoy.
