I got very nice garlic and cheese chips from the Savage Food Company in the Body and Soul. Yum and only €2.50. I had several freshly made pizzas from that Pasta and Pizza stall. They were made to order, and were quite nice, if a little underdone due to the queue. Okay value for €10. I can’t remember the rest.
I had a steak sandwich and cajun chips for 11 euro at Chargrill between the Cosby and Electric Arena tents. They were both too much for me to finish alone and were delicious! You certainly were over charged in your choices there Jean, but there certainly was more reasonable food available.
What bugged me was the price of drinks having gone up at all concerts by 50cents. Its very fiddly, and leads to queues for change.
I had the most beautiful burrito for €8 from The Flaming Cactus I think it was.I also had a far worse version from the vegan and veggie Mexican Stand for €7 which was a rip off for what I got. I had a hot dog from the German sausage stand on the way in which was delish for €5. Also had a hog burger for €6 which was just a bun and a burger and wasn’t great but had an Angus 1/4 pounder from another stand for the same money and it was lovely and came with all the trimmings. I think the food at the picnic this year was at a much lower standard than last year. It was very hit and miss and you really had to know where to go this year.
The goat curry at the Carribbean Food stand was delicious for €8, as were the fish dumplings with spinach and jalepeno sauce. German hotdog stand, good wurst for a fiver.
The greasy cooked breakfasts were really not great and a rip off at €8….
