FOOD SHOW !



This is where it's all happening.
Every year we go to the Food Show in Auckland - such an event could never happen in England! It would cause riots!! There would be stampedes to get in! This was our destination this weekend.
It is literally a gourmet spectacle .. all types of foods and wines in huge halls, each stand dedicated to providing 'tastes' of their product. There were over 300 stands... Chefs do demonstrations of their signature dishes and authors sign their cookbooks for you. Girls 'dress up' to promote their wares imaginatively !
Every now and then there are 'rest areas' with sofas and water and cooking magazines to browse through.
The girls loved it! Raspberry and white chocolate icecream was delicious.. Lindt chocolate and champagne was a hit too ..
We took our Newcastle Homestay with us and she was overwhelmed, while we happily munched and drank our way round for 3 hours.
What a day!
