Food festival in town
We arrived late, nearly noon. Got a parking space in town and headed down to the white-washed marquee area which was already buzzing with people. Most of the visitors were busy sampling food rather than buying them, well not all, but we were definitely one of them cheeky ones. This food festival is a place for farmers to showcase their wares to the public. It was quite interesting. We had a taste of crackers with home-made jams, crackers with chutney (apparently, the English got hooked to this Indian delicacy some time back), then some deliciously looking fudge (it was reeeallly rich, i dun think I like it much). There was one stall which was selling vegetable root crisp, i.e crisp made from thinly sliced sweet potato, beetroot etc. It was sold in very small packs, no bigger than the palm of your hand but with a price that would make the aunties who sell crisps like these in the 'pasar malam' in Malaysia laugh their 'tudung' off. One of the stalls was even selling a garlic peeler for £17+ pounds....daylight robbery if you were to ask me! The participating stores were not that many but nevertheless the weather was lovely. At 10 to one we had to hurry back to the car when we realized that we hadn't pay for the parking ticket.
