Thanks to Maureen of
The Orgasmic Chef fame, I had 2 tickets for the GF&W show this past weekend in my hot little hand. Mr Pickings had a backpack on for any purchases, so in we went. (I was amazed at the number of people with trolleys which they obviously intended to fill with goodies.) I was very restrained and only bought a few things so hubby was not weighed down too much. We enjoyed seeing "celebrity chefs" do their thing on stage, and it was fun wandering around checking out all the new stuff that a dedicated foodie can buy and eat. The most challenging item I saw was alpaca meat- I thought about it and I just could not bring myself to eat one of these cute beasties - whether it was in a meatball or a pate. So alpaca remains on my untried list (which is pretty small as I will usually try anything.)

I think a fun time was had by all! There was heaps we didn't get around to seeing due to crowds and exhaustion, and not knowing you had to pre-book even the free shows, but it was a fun morning and the tastings were great.
HI Sherry, looks like a fun and popular event, love checking out new "foods".
ReplyDeleteHi cheri
DeleteYes a very popular event each year. They had to bring it forward due to the G20 in November!
I went to the GFWS this weekend too. I couldn't believe the crowds! It was fun though.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad we went fairly early so the crowds weren't too awful.
DeleteHi Sherry, the Good Food Show was fun, wasn't it. You must try alpaca meat, though. I didn't have it at the show but I've eaten it before and it's actually quite delicious!
ReplyDeletei just couldn't bring myself to try it. i bet it is nice, like most things once you try them.
