Hampton Court Food Festival

A sunny day, an endless sight of stalls, smells choking the air of so many different kinds of delightful food, today was set to be a brilliant day. 11:00 it opened, and the crowd poured into the Foodies Festival.

The first thing that caught our eyes, well my eyes was... Jimmy's Iced Coffee!

Now I know everyone who is reading is going to be thinking iced tea. YEP! Iced Coffee. What??? But yes, there is such a thing, and yes again, it does have caffeine in it, which is just why this appealed to me! It was absolutely, mind-blowingly, cold, icy (surprisingly), refreshing, and overall... nice! So we bought one. Look out for it in Waitrose in big 1 litre cartons!

Moving on, the next thing that caught our attention was some Indian brilliance, some say it is a squashed triangular prism, but all we now is that it's the legendary samosa! Also people say they are like edible tea bags! These samosa's were AMAZING, they were crunchy and crispy on the outside, and soft and scrumptious on the inside!

We visited the plant section (My Mums idea), and I found some peculiar plants...

Banana Mint?

Chocolate Mint?

Apple Mint?

You can just see the Moroccan mint aswell!

How many different mints are there?!?

Before lunch we managed to do a once in a lifetime thing...

What Happened: Well, before lunch we attended a session where we were supposed to find out who has the most taste buds, so, we used some cotton wool and some special dye, and painted our tongues blue. Then the the instructor or whatever you want to call her, forgot the the whole point of the activity and forgot to tell us how we could tell how many taste buds we had, and for the rest of the session she was wondering why we had blue tongues. Overall it was a complete waste of time!

After that disappointing half hour, we had lunch, which was something truly magical, it was... burger and chips! Just JOKING!! We had Paella! It was amazing, fantabulous and just, very edible and traditional Spanish! We agreed that we would have the seafood and the chicken paella and would have half of each. But after tasting the Seafood Paella, I wanted nothing else except the Seafood Paella, so, I said I didn't like the chicken and so my mum was forced to eat the chicken, and so I scoffed my Seafood Paella in triumph! 

After my Spanish lunch, I set off to find 2 weird and wonderful foods:

These Munchy Seeds were really tasty, and they are really good for you.
