This past weekend was Dingle's 8th annual food festival held over Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th of October. It was the first time in a couple of years that I was able to go and being the absolute glutton that I am I was super excited to stuff my face with all the delightful culinary treats that were on offer. Ticket books were €22 and had 10 tickets in each. Most vendors took just 1 ticket in exchange for their food while some cheeky scuts were taking 2. This summer Dingle won the 'Irish Foodie Town of the Year 2014', a testament to the hard work and delicious fare of the local restaurants in my beautiful home-town, which made me extra excited to see what some restaurants were going to put on food-wise. I set off on the Saturday (which luckily stayed dry) with a small gang of friends and we wound our way around town with our ticket books munching and drinking to our hearts' content. Here's my photo diary (which would be much longer but I kept scoffing the food before I remembered to photograph it; oh the downsides of being a greedy piglet...)
