On Saturday 24th August a group of us decided to venture into Birmingham city centre for their annual food festival.
Its located halfway down New Street, Victoria and Chamberlain Square (which is exactly where the famous German Christmas Market is set) and takes place for just over a week each summer, open 'till late, so you could spend a whole day munching on the dishes on offer.
So what sort of foods could you find there?
- Paella (seafood/chicken/chorizo)
- Churros
- Bigos (polish stew)
- Macaroons
- Mini doughnuts
- Fudge
- Ostrich burgers
- Kangaroo burgers
- Jerk chicken
- Jamaican curried goat
- Bratwurst
- Chinese noodles
- Exotic fruits
- Squirrel/crow pie
- Selections of jams/cheeses
This kangaroo meat burger was quite watery in comparison to a usual beef burger, not much of a meaty or gamey taste at all, in fact the only pungent flavour was pepper which just must have been over seasoned --> 
Lovely fresh coconut water!
Lots of variety with these garlic jams! Mmm my favourite! (Didn't like the smoked garlic though!)
- Would have preferred if you could have a taster sample, rather than pay full amount for a large portion.
- However, there was no entry charge, so a free day out.
- Disappointed in the paella: supposed to be 'authentic spanish' and yet using basmati rice rather than the grainy paella rice.
