Comments on: Auburn Festival 2008 http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/10/18/auburn-festival-2008/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

Congratulations. I am PA to the Mayor of Auburn City Council and co-ordinated the stalls for the 2008 Auburn Festival - Yes, it was a terribly hot day. Thought you might like to know the festival this year will be held Saturday 26 September. Love your suggested recipes. Great. Hi there, I am very impressed with your web site. Congratulations.

Although truth be told it's not like Turkish ice cream is sold in every shop. I've only seen it in Turkish areas of Sydney. The sun was strong that day so it seemed like the only choice. And yes the sour cherry ice cream is similar to the cherry in strudels so I think you might have liked that :) Hi Maria-Hehe you should move to Sydney!

How come I've never heard of this?! Or even sugar cane juice? What rock have I been living under? :lol: Yum, yum... all looks very good! I think I would have gone the snow cone too on a day with hot gusty winds ((shudders)).. I struggle with that kind of weather. The sour cherry icecream sounds like something I'd love too.

Hi Angela-It is really good, especially cold on a hot day. The good thing is that you don't have to choose, we had both in fact! :) Hi grace-LOL that’s a bit naughty but I like how you’ve admitted it out loud :lol: I’m sure you’re not the only one to want to have pushed one over though!

I haven't had this since I was 11 and visiting my grandparents in Barbados for the first time. But I remember it well. <i>So</i> good. (I am also fascinated by the stretchy ice-cream, but sugar cane beats that hands down!) Forget the ice-cream, I’m far more excited by the sugar cane juice!

This one wasn't as crowded and I don't really like huge crowds either as it means queueing for ages! Thanks, he was very entertaining! :) Hi Y-They really do do all the details dont' they? I can't say that I liked the jelly crystals (they were so strongly flavoured) but the rest really hit the spot. Hi snookydoodle-I'm a big festival fan I have to say :) I rarely see it so whenever I do, I feel we have to have some! Hi sheera-yes the tricks are very cool for pulling in the kids (and adults alike!). My favourite is the black mulberry, just so good and fruity! Hi Cakelaw-It was sooo hot that day that even though I don't eat a lot of ice cream, I headed straight there. From the queues it seemed like it was on everyone's hit list too whilst he Turkish coffee stand was relatively empty :lol: Hi Bria-It's really good, if you see it do try it and try and get a cone from a man doing tricks! ;) Hi Blond Duck-It was a great day-one filled with food is always great for me :lol: Hi FFichiban-I know, sugar cane juice, with the rickety looking equipment is just so good. I think the last time I chewed on sugar cane was in Taiwan when I was 10 years old on a holiday! Hi chocolatesuze-LOL see I don't always wear black! Hi Lilia-You can get it from Mado Cafe in Auburn where there are a lot more flavours available. It's very good, and said to be lower in lactose than regular ice cream and easier to digest for children too.
