It's a festival of cheese, coffee and chocolate, but there were loads of other things. It was heavenly. I think L and I were like Pacman, constantly eating our way around the Festival.
First we started with some chocolate. Willow wanted a cup of chocolate mousse. I was rather hoping she would pick a cup of strawberries with hot chocolate drizzled all over it, but the mousse was cheaper, so whatever. I told her she was going to have to share.
Next stall sold chilli liqueurs. L and I had a little sample. That little sample was enough to... thoroughly warm us up. Willow looked disgusted as we quickly shovelled some of her chocolate mousse down to take away the burn.
Then Willow and Ethan scored some balloons. They spent the rest of the day getting them tangled around each other and getting annoyed. Meanwhile, we tried some heavenly dark chocolate and vowed to return for more. (We forgot. I nearly cried). Then we shared a cup of thick Italian hot chocolate- so thick that as it cooled, it formed a skin on top. I love Italian hot chocolate.
After that, we decided we really needed something savoury, so we got a cheese platter for lunch. Willow loved the cheese. Afterwards, we ate a lemon curd meringue. I wasn't heartbroken that Willow said she didn't like the lemon, so yay! More for us! All of this was washed down with a locally made ginger beer.
After that we tried out several stalls worth of amazing condiments. I ended up getting a tomato sambal, tahini and preserved lemon sauce, melon, lemon and mustard seed sauce and a mandarin and lime sauce. The melon, lemon and mustard seed is really interesting- you can taste the melon. Very light and summery.
Anyways. We will be back soon with more updates on the house! (So much chaos. So much mess).
