We bought from the Venezuelan food booth at Ethnic Village.

I figured if the food was good enough for Carlos Zambrano, it was good enough for us.

I heard others raving about the plantains the next day at church.

I plan on returning for more Venezuelan food.

Ethnic Village Food Menus 2009



Ethnic Village Food Menus 2009
 
Let's face it - most of us don't know what everything is on the menus at Ethnic Village at the Illinois State Fair.  The longest lines there tend to be for ethnic food items that Americans tend to be familiar with.
One lady told me that my Venezuelan plate looked too adventurous for her tastes.
To me, it tasted like food from Olive Garden.  Go figure.
 
Below are photos of the menus at the various food stands at Ethnic Village.
This should give future attendees an idea of what they'll find there and around what it'll cost.
 Menus and prices probably change a bit each year...but this is at least a clue...
