The Delicious Food Show!

I received a free latte sample* at the Delicious Food Show before I even went inside. It was a great start to what turned out to be my favorite food festival of the year. Three words: Best Samples Ever. 

Bistro Ceylon Tea is a new way to brew tea where the loose tea leaves are in the tea package/stir stick. So no more messy bags, or extra wooden sticks. The green tea ginger (I believe) was awesome. Not a bad Christmas gift for the tea obsessed.
 
Chocostyle was a distributor from Montreal, who was sampling chocolate covered marshmellows in dark and milk chocolate with one of my favorite things: sprinkles. 
 They were also selling these chocolate stilettos, which for some people is just two things they love most in one box:

This is just a sneak peak of the samples because I got honestly got too caught up eating. It was like, I was thinking about photographing what I was eating, and by the time I was done deciding, it was already gone. My favorite booth was St. Philips by far where they just kept pumping out sandwiches on soft-as-air flat breads. There were other booths offering cured meats (like 4 long tables full of cured meats and cold cuts = some men's dreams), jams, cookies, and other things. Yummm. 

AND there were delicious theatrical huge cakes that will be featured in part 2 of the Delicious Food Show.



Note from Jen:
*latte sample was from the Nescafe Dolce Gusto Machines. Two thumbs up for taste. 
**So the picture above in the header is Cupcake Diner, which is a food truck from Hamilton. No samples from this place, but awesome presentation, no?
***There was a $20 entrance fee - a bit pricy - but as someone who likes to snack on a bunch of different things at the same time, I say "YES!"
