I found myself searching. I was searching for new smells,
new tastes and new experiences. I was looking for somewhere with brighter
colours, bigger smiles and somewhere that would set alight my imagination and
leave me in utter awe of our world, and Cape Town in particular.
And I found it.
I spent today at the Good Food and Wine show at the CTICC in
Cape Town. Year after year I have heard about how spectacular it is and wished
beyond all wishing that one day I would attend it with someone who is as
passionate about different and new flavours as I am and this year I finally
managed to attend with the perfect partner in crime; my mum.
It was a last minute decision and we were really happy that
we managed to get tickets because the alternative was being at home with my stepdad,
trying desperately to not help or get in the way while he installed aluminium
folding doors. God, that sounds even more boring now than it did this morning.
Anyway, mum and I were off on an adventure and were super
excited to see what would await us. There was absolutely no way that we could
possibly have been disappointed and I honestly have no idea where to begin to
describe it but I can tell you this; today I ate the hugest oyster I have ever,
ever seen:
I saw macaroons that could put even the best rainbow to
shame:
And I ate a cracker with cream cheese, sweet chilli sauce…
and MEALWORMS:
It was absolutely spectacular, and a better day could not
have been had. Especially not if I had been trying to put in doors.
