Leicester Winter Food Festival

 

 

There were an awful lot of cake and cupcake stalls, I guess this is down to shows like the Great British Bake Off. There were some really nice cakes about but so many stalls had pretty much the same things

Even dogs?

Total highlight was Vila Brasil’s amazing Brazilian street food. The Salt Cod croquettes were so light and fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside.  I became quite addicted to everything:

I am incredibly lucky to live just a few minutes walk away from the truly wonderful Melton Cattle Market which hosts the most fantastic Farmers Market every Tuesday and during Game Season you can take your pick of wild meats as well as all the usual livestock, local veg, homemade cakes, pies, breads, antiques, chicken coops, old bikes, shotguns, Landrovers the list goes on and on! There really is not a lot that you can’t buy at this Farmer’s Market and its one of the reasons I’m always so excited to go.
