$22 entry but you had all of ASB showground's hangers lined of food and wine stalls to sample from. The plan was simple; sample as many stalls as you could to your money's worth. It was successful for the most parts but we were hindered by over crowding on stalls and a huge increase of house and kitchenware booths taking up valuable sampling space. There was also a stall I found where they didn't have samples. You had to pay for everything. They were selling fish and chips but still, give us samples!
On display at the Food Show are New Zealand's finest products. Wine, cheeses, diary, oils and meats. Not good if you're a vegetarian although there was one vegetarian stall there selling imitation meats. What was missing at the Food Show that was there last year was an asian section. It was there that you found the imitation meats but it was also the place where you found things that were a bit unusual.
The missing section got me thinking that the show could be laid out better. They should have sections that that had similar or complimenting products. Maybe they have and I wasn't paying too much attention or it could of been I was walking in the way not to their recommended walking path but it seems weird to snacking on dry goods and then trying pasta at the next stall. I think it would be great if they had sections where they have asian food or french food etc. Then people of New Zealand will get a better understanding of cuisine.
It wasn't as good as last year's show but it was still excellent and will be trying to get more people to go to the show on their own accords next year. Hopefully I'll see you there.
