The Taste, Hobart

Over New Years a friend and I went to the Taste down in Hobart for a day trip. Unfortunately we didn't give ourselves enough time to really sit back and relax but thats ok the weather was pretty miserable and I dressed like it was summer (because it was in Launceston!). We did a lap of the venue checking out all the food stall and bumping into so many people, it was packed! We were first drawn to a Willie Smiths organic cider which was a good start to the experience.  After much contemplating I found a place called Mint that did healthier options such as rice paper rolls, salads and buns. I ordered a rice paper roll and a Vietnamese salad that had satay chicken in it with a huge variety of good veggies. To my surprise the serving was huge, so certainly value for money. We sat outside on these chairs that were covered in fake grass, it was great apart from the rain! I was soon thirsty so went and checked out the Franks cider tent, I went to go with an apple cider until the lady suggested I try the cherry cider, I am not a big fan of cherry flavoured things but this was really really good. Now it was dessert time, we picked this out as soon as we walked into the venue, dark chocolate mousse with raspberries and a walnut apple crumble topped with caramel icecream. All I have to say about these is WOW! Coeliacs really are spoiled for choice, sometimes too much. We left the Taste feeling very full and over indulged, but it was totally worth the calories and the drive down!
(I just had to take a pic of this cute little bus/van that sold icecream!)
