We had the really enjoyable opening do for the Taste of the Teign Festival yesterday evening in Teignmouth at the Fish Quay. The BBC Spotlight team were there and many members of Teignbridge Council, Teignmouth Council as well as the organisers, photographers and members of the public. The atmosphere was really good and the Newquay Pub joined in wholeheartedly. It was a good way to spend the late afternoon. Friends, visitors, and foodies alike all had a good experience.
The 'Girl Rhona' boat landed many tons of sprats at 430 and the whole crowd watched them being unloaded. I'm sure the men weren't used to such an audience! Most of the sprats get exported - what a shame that we don't use them more in the UK.
We all enjoyed a tasty and seriously fresh sprat barbeque with fresh lemon wedges and various
Shute Fruit pickles and hot dogs from Westaways and the East Cliff Cafe. The sprats I had were totally delicious.
There are many other tasty events being held this week with Taste of the Teign.
Personally, I'm going to watch the classic film Guess Who's Coming to Dinner today at 2:30 at Teignmouth Pavillions; then I'm going to see the Kitchen Cart Cookery Demo, Thurs at 10am in Teignmouth triangle, then I'm going to enjoy the Fry Up Friday at 10am at Westaways, Newton Abbot on Friday, I'm going to take my children along to Shakes, Flakes and Double Takes at Cherry on the Top, Teignmouth on Fri at 5, and then I'm going to visit the extended Farmer's Market, the craft market and see the blessing of the boats on Saturday. All these events are free of charge (apart from the film!).
Whooh, I'm going to have a foodie overload - but I'm looking forward to it!

There were also tasters provided of crazy milkshakes, summer fruit and ice cream from our lovely local ice cream parlour, Cherry on the Top,
and there were tasters of much-needed and refreshing elderflower cordial from Shute Fruit.
