I love food festivals...

Mon Aug 8, 2005, 4:11 AM
Haarlem, my home town, had a culinary festival this weekend. My girlfriend and I popped down on the Grote Markt by around two. We then made a lovely four hour culinary trip, moving from stall to stall, drinking champagne, wine and even a few cocktails. The food varied from simple favourites like carpacchio and nachos, to such delicacies as gravad lax, tuna with tzatziki and a tompouce of lobster and calf cheeks.
We even found a spot of dessert in the shap of a very nutty brownie with vanilla icecream.

The weather helped us a little, by only raining hard when we were sheltered and even surprised us with a bit of sun in between.

Oh, and between the food and nibbles, I had a wonderful time looking at the people. I even popped the odd shot ;)

I'm really sorry...not. ;)

It was a blast they do this once a year (since a couple) and we've visited every time now. Still, the first time was the best...

It was. A good thing it's only one a year though, as we spent a small fortune on food and drink :beer:
