On Sunday 8th March a small group of us made the trek to the beautiful Araluen Botanic Gardens in Roleystone for the annual Chilli Festival. Most of us were still recovering from the day (and night) before so upon arrival the first stop was the coffee shop. Eventually, and somewhat reluctantly, the decision was made to face the big wide world and to venture out to see what we had come to see.
The chilli lovers among us found themselves in chilli heaven. There was a huge number of stalls selling anything and everything to do with chillies, from chilli paste to chilli jam, dukkah, olives, cheese, and even chilli beer. And the best part was, most stalls were offering free tastings.
A large variety of goodies ranging from the usual chips and hotdogs to the more exotic Turkish bread thingies were on offer for lunch. One member of the group did a wonderful impersonation of a caveman ripping into a brontosaurus drumstick aka lamb shank, but it’s OK Jenny, we won’t tell anyone UGGH!!!. (note by editor - where's the photo???) Delicious watermelon was on offer to cool any overheated palates.
Thanks to Deb for suggesting the event, Brian for organising it, and a special thanks to those who went along
