How cow, American food festivals sound like a nightmare. The last one I went to, Meatopia held at the Guinness brewery in Dublin, I didn’t get halfway around the vendors before I was stuffed. The only thing that there was a lack of was beer tokens, but given it’s Dublin, a free bar would have lead to bankruptcy.

I just ask the brewers and or food producers I know if they will be at the festival. If they say “haven’t heard of it”, I don’t touch it with a barge pole.

Are you sure? I heard that they were little bitches.

Must try that over the weekend.

Why? Or are you just butthurt because they call your kids out?

Depends, if their shopping includes high-end items, treats and expensive convenience meals then I’d say you were right.

We used to have an hour and a quarter before we moved premises- this was perfect as the old premises was close to town so we would regularly hit a restaurant (not a fast food place) for lunch.
