International Food Week 2026: A Global Feast at Sabre Medical
It’s that time of year again! International Food Week has landed at Sabre Medical for the third year running! Once a year, our office transforms into a celebration of the incredible cultural diversity within our team, all through the universal language of food.
As always, the team pulled out all the stops. We were treated to flavour explosions, childhood favourites, more than a few food comas, and cherished family recipes passed down through generations — all shared with pride.
So, how many dishes do you recognise?
