Huddersfield Food Festival

16 Aug 2007 - Every year Huddersfield has a phenomenal food festival in the town centre. it certainly makes lunch times more appertising.

I sometimes get frustrated working in the town centre. Its noisy, there's always construction going on, parking's a nightmare. Even The Media Centre has its own foibles.

But for one week every year I love working in the town centre. That week is the Huddersfield Food Festival week.

For a few days that week my lunch times are transformed - goodbye sarnies and spuds; hello exotic food, snacks and drinks from around the world!

The biggest problem for me is that there is only a couple of lunch times for me to take advantage of it and every year there are loads of places to eat. One day is always taken up by the greatest curry in the known Universe - Ali Murad. But then I have to choose between Argentinian beef, Jem & Jo milkshakes, huge pies, Caribbean rice & peas, Thai food, French food (okay its all great) and a veritable plethora of beers and wines.

A final glance at the list of stall holders does however leave me a bit perturbed - what exactly are the St Johns Ambulance going to be serving up?
