Top Ten Reasons to go to the London Wine and Food Show

What does lavender flavoured salad dressing, garlic toasted flax seeds, and sundried tomato hummus have in common?  If you guessed things I bought at the London Wine and Food Show, you're right!

Tami and I went on the weekend and it was fantastic!  So delicious and so much fun!  Here are the top ten reasons to go:  

10.  You get to drink.  A lot.  Favourites included the apricot beer and the icecream shot (complete with mini cone and whipped cream).
9.  You get to eat.  A lot.  Favourites included the butter chicken and the honey waffles.  OMG...my mouth is watering right now.
8.  You get to watch a high end fashion show.  I felt like I should have been on Fashion Television!  I wanted to get up on stage and strut my stuff.
7.  You get to go to a cheese seminar and learn/ taste tons of different cheeses.  ...and then leave crack sweat on your seat as you get up.  haha.  I blame the sick black devil blue cheese (or whatever the hell it is).
6.  You get to meet an ultra gay South African that learns that this is your first W. and F.S. and gives you super full drinks at half price.  He was SO funny (and SO flamboyant...lol)
5.  Free Stuff!  Yes...it's all about the knives, the samples, the tote bags, the pens, the pads of paper, the magnets, etc
4.  Diane.  Our new friend and guide to all the free stuff.  She made my night.  No...actually...my life.
3.  You get to visit the casino for a surprise gift.  Our gift - a glass cube picture thingy.
2.  Spilling drinks all over yourself.  Not once.  Not twice.  But thrice. Damn red wine.  haha
1.  People watching.  Yes, it was fantastic.

Will I be going back next year?  Absolutely!
