Doesn’t that sentence say to you that you should be? This week I am spending all my time planning what to eat and it what order. Friday can’t come soon enough. This is the first year of this festival and I love the idea of sampling various restaurants food, tasting wines and beers.
Have a good look at the offerings, overtime I have a browse I choose a different starting point. I love Croquetas and would not make them at home so they may have to be a first stop. Choosing the last stop will be the biggest problem and I may have to walk home.
Some of my favourites so far are-
Croquetas – three cheese with spicy paprika mayo, or roasted red pepper & chorizo with alioli
Gluten free chicken and smoked cheddar cheese croquettes with spicy mayo
Special Wellington City and Sea Museum Fundraiser Dumplings
Indian Spiced Roasted Veges + red cabbage(vegan)
Chilangas (the Mexican pie): corn parcels stuffed with meat & cheese, smoked fish & cheese or veggie & cheese (vegan option available).
Pravda cheese scone w/ tomato relish
Pork Larb with sticky rice
Vanilla crème brulee/blood orange sphere/liquid nitrogen mandarin cheezel.
See the problem?
I’m considering going but still haven’t brought tickets. Really need to get onto it.
Do it, eating is always good.
I like the look of the festival but have ummed and ahhed about whether or not I’ll go. I find the cost quite exorbitant. For two of us, it would be $60 (or $80 depending on when we buy tickets) just to walk in the door. Add some $10 meals each and a few drinks and we’ll easily have spent over $200 on a single night out, which unfortunately is too much for us.
