I am acutely aware that it is now Thursday, almost Friday which is then pretty much a new weekend so i may be a tad late talking about what i did LAST weekend but i enjoyed it so much that i wanted to give it a mention.
Last weekend myself and Adam went up to Leamington Spa for a food festival, thinking that it was nice to get away but that the festival itself may not be too great. OMG we were wrong. I literally ate enough free samples that i didn't feel hungry for lunch which if you ever heard my stomach growl during a 12:00 lecture you would realise how big that is.
It was pretty big with two big sections of tents along the perimeter and lots in the middle too. There was a variety of food based choices to make: watching cookery demos, eating free samples and talking to stall owners and buying their respective products, and then of course doing the rounds at all the mobile food units. There was a lot of them, in particular churros had a HUGE queue all day which unfortunately didn't mean that they were any good :(
My fav's of the day were definitely Snowdonia cheeses, we ate so many samples and bought two mini wheels too, and a really nice company called spicentice which had spice based (who would have guessed) products, including DELICIOUS chutneys. We bought a mango one and a sweet lime one, I can't wait to open those bad boys up and gobble them down!
The good thing about this particular food festival was that it was free entry, had a good choice of stalls and the products being sold were not astronomically expensive, in fact Adam worked it out that the cheese we buy in our supermarket works out that same price as what we bought at the festival but is in no way as tasty or satisfying to eat....win win for the food festival!!
The only bad thing is i never thought to take any pictures, i was having much too good a time eating!
This weekend is going to be less food based i feel although i do plan on a little baking day today/ tomorrow so maybe it will be a little foodie! Have a great weekend x
