Hi Clarissa, Wow Abergavenny Food Festival what a gem !! Such an amazing selection of foods, and they all looked amazing. I see you had the standard rain when you were there, iv been three times and it always rained. Ok the food, i picked out just a few, firstly the Lamb, oh wow welsh lamb is amazing and when cooked and served like this you just can't knock it. Second was Beefy Boys, i remember the other vlog on this, and since then my daughter has tried one, she said 'Dad its not a burger its an experience' how do they do it ? Finally i loved the Mexican food, i had some like this many years ago in London, and still remember it to this day, you just cant copy it. Great vlog as always Clarissa, Chris
That looks fantastic! We have been to that festival once more, but had our two young (back then) kids with us, so could not focus properly on the stalls. Do you have a link which shows food festivals around the UK? How do you find out about them all? Thanks
Unfortunately even with extensive googling there's so many food festivals in the UK that I've never found a complete list. Most of the ones I know about are just seeing advertisements on social media. I also follow a lot of the exhibitors on Instagram/Facebook so I see them announce a new food festival they're going to visit.
@@clarissaeatsitall thanks Clarissa. I will need to do some more research and be more vigilant! I need to try some of the Nixon Farms food. Their own website is empty!
@@tongey1 Here's a pretty good list for Wales specifically! www.visitwales.com/things-do/events/festivals/welsh-food-festivals This isn't a food festival, but the Cardiff Christmas at Bute Park christmasatbutepark.com/info/food-drink/ has a good amount of decent street food as well!
I guess it isn't a named British dish you're correct 😀 but a local farm supplying their own slow roasted lamb, over proper thick cut chips which are popular in the UK, and a gravy, I didn't think calling it any other country 's dish would suit! Any suggestions of what other country I should have said?
The way the town transforms for a weekend is so wonderful. One of my favourites for sure.
A great way to support local independent businesses too!

Thanks very much for your comment as usual!! Yes Beefy Boys is incredible!

Nixon Farms is right, those are some proper chips 😋

I’m from Cardiff and had no idea this event was even a thing, looks amazing!
Definitely make a note of it for next year!!
It’s been going for 26 years, it’s always the third weekend in September 😊

Lamb and chips is not a classic English dish.
I guess it isn't a named British dish you're correct 😀 but a local farm supplying their own slow roasted lamb, over proper thick cut chips which are popular in the UK, and a gravy, I didn't think calling it any other country 's dish would suit!

It is now! :D
Maybe becoming a classic Welsh dish, well at the festival at least, the queues for it were long.
