Stratford Farmers' Market

This weekend was the Stratford Food Festival and since my foodie boyfriend was coming to stay we headed down to check out the stalls.

On the Waterfront there was a fantastic Farmer's Market where we wandered around gobbling up all the free samples and leaving laden with cheese, pies, beers and other goodies!

We saw a demonstration of how to cook and prepare lobster where the amazing lobster, watermelon and caviar salad (above) was prepared.  Unfortunately we weren't allowed to taste it, but it was interesting to watch the top chefs of the Eden hotels flexing their cooking muscles and it smelt AH-MAY-ZING.

The sun was really shining on us whilst we lapped up the music, street performers (any ideas how she is levitating?!  Got to be a chair under here trousers somewhere!) and the smells wafting around.

I snapped up a few bottles of these comically named beers for my dad, he often complains of drinks tasting like "cat's piss" so thought that would be the best one for him!

It was a really lovely way to spend the day and I gather it will continue tomorrow, check it out if you're in the area!
