Food Festival
 

So anyone else go? It was sodding hard work pushing Siobhan in her pram to get anywhere near most of the stalls. I thought that whilst prices were on teh high side theer was a good selection of produce from people who obviously cared about their product. I'm lucky in that where I get my LPG in Knutsford has a farm shop where she sells all sorts of game and rare breed meats. She also has a couple of Polish chefs working for her and they do some delicious polish dishes

I went for the first time not knowing what to expect. Possibly I was looking forward to survey a good sample of good local traditional food.

What I saw was an expensive array of marketing ploys to sell more product by providing new flavours to the punters: icecream; cheese; oils, honey;... Hardly traditional.

I was disappointed and will not bother in future years.

Personally , i enjoyed it but i spent a fortune!!!! some cheaper stall might be an idea for the future. Veggie Blackpudding is a winner as is Lancashire sauce!!!

Re: Food Festival
 

Yeah it did seem a bit expensive. But ah well... life goes on. The good was awesome though...

Re: Food Festival
 

I enjoyed having a mosey round all of the stalls and trying out the different Lancashire cheeses. I tried that much stuff that I didn't need lunch:D Some things were overpriced, and I couldn't what relevance the stalls selling Spanish and Italian foods had to Lancashire. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it.

Did it say it was a festival of lancashire food or just a food festival in Lancashire?

Re: Food Festival
 

I think you might of said it was just a good festival in Lancashire Entwisi. But who knows eh.

Re: Food Festival
 

It was advertised as the 9th Lancashire Food Festival, so I guess you can take that whichever way....:)

Re: Food Festival
 

So they are perfectly within their rights to have 'foreign' foodsstuff there. :)

Re: Food Festival
 

Did he "foreign" food stuff include German red sausage? Make great hotdogs them bangers. :)

Re: Food Festival
 

I got some smoked peppered mackeral and it was absolutely delicious.

We enjoyed it too! Much better having the marquee instead of cramming it all in the Town Hall.We got some great cheese;sausages and a couple of botttles of "Bumble " sauce which is very good indeed! Hope someone decides to sell it locally or will have to venture to the wilds of Ramsbottom!
