A mostly picture post today. Food festivals are always big things in the year to me. It's a great opportunity to try new and often unique products from providores and it's always exciting to meet the people behind such products. A month out and I already have my agenda set out. Rachel's yoghurt. And cheese, cheese, cheese. And cheese!

Tsuru Beef Bun |
Tsuru's beef buns, unfortunately, are very dissappointing. The flavour is average at best, especially at 8 dollars per bun which is a giant rip. I was under the impression, at the moment of buying it, that two would be offered for 8 because that's the usual asking price. Silly me.

My spirits were definitely brought up with some burgers at the burger parlour. Small as they were, they were definitely packing loads of flavour especially from the jalapeno mayo from the Sausy Sisters.
And definitely from Rachel's yoghurt. I mean free yoghurt aside, (2 tubs just for signing up to a competition) with a competition and a fancy space to boot, they were definitely the hot favourite of the day.

Big smiles all round from the Rachel's yoghurt stand! |
The yoghurt itself? Very convenient in a nutshell. Great flavours with the use of quality ingredients like real vanilla beans and fruit. Spoon under the lid and you're ready to go. They've converted me.

It was definitely a great day. All the sights and smells (and tears from the chilli house), it's just such a joy to be in such a cultural hub of culinary delights. There's a lot to try and it's in your best interest to rock up early at say 9 because it crowds so much towards noon that you won't be able to touch your toes without headbutting someone. I look forward to many things next year, like a Zumbo macaron class, a 3 course lunch and crying my way through another spoonful of chilli because I'm an adrenaline junkie. Until next year!
