I went to the Taste of Christmas last Sunday at the Excel Centre with Penny. It was a really good day, with lots of samples from Fudges cheese straws to Chat-en-Oeuf and Longue-Dog wine to Alex James' cheese (eurgh) to Propercorn. We were snacking all day. It was pretty busy but not too bad and I got a few presents sorted. Found an amazing energy drink called Pussy Drinks Ltd and also a great yoghurt called The Collective Yoghurt. The passion fruit one is great but even the Christmas pudding one was nice!
We also saw a food demo by Jean Christophe Novelli, who was really good. I can't believe he is in his 50s. His hair is so dark! He is a bit obsessed with getting rid of saturated fats so he told us that when he roasts a goose he steams it first and then the fat comes out in the water. He also makes a vegetable stock by chopping lots of veggies and putting them in a pan with loads of garlic. And then I lost him a little bit but he then takes them out of the water... and does something else with them! Handy.
We also caught a glimpse of the Fabulous Baker Brothers who are lovely!!
It was a good mix of samples and demos, but it wasn't all that Christmasy! I was expecting more Cranberry sauce.
