While in Cornwall for the week a local streamer gave me the top tip of visiting the Porthleven Food Festival. We tend to avoid these things locally as it's usually the same people each time (much as I love the Fuffle Man), but here it's a whole new selection of Indy food makers!
Having been to Porthleven before I knew the layout and that there are lots of cool arty shops anyway, so we popped over.
There was music and drinking for the locals too!
I chose a Brazilian Picana Steak Sandwich for my lunch.
Lovely and crispy with deep flavours and filled with lots of excitement. This ordinarily would have been a highlight of the day.
My partner had a Buddha bowl which I'd almost been tempted by too - great variety here too - hard to make things like this at home without having loads of left-overs.
I'd already spotted this on lap one - the recon - and decided it was to be my pudding of choice. And I went for the Summer Berry Filled Churro
Turns out I was the first to order this new item - and the guy behind me in the queue ordered the second!
It's a complicated mix of dried fruit and sugar on the outside, and a strawberry & vanilla creme on the inside - and it's amazing!
Like all filled Churro the second half is always a mess as it creeps out of the sides and the sugar starts to fall off and get everywhere. I managed to eat it all before the park & ride bus arrived to take us back to the car - so it wasn't too messy.
Overall a massive hit - and banana split style with ice-cream would easily be a restaurant grade pudding.
Well worth the trip out, and decent value for money too - I'd certainly go again.
