Wild Foods

Kia Ora... just a very quick entry as I've been meaning to blog about the Wild Foods Festival in Hokitika (sorry no pics at the moment). Ended up getting a ride from Punakaiki to Hokitika and experienced the joy of eating the following items: mountain oysters (aka sheep testicles), chocolate covered grasshoppers - the wings didn't taste that good, hu hu grub, chocolate covered worms, mutton bird, and so many other things.

The festival itself is held in a small town on the West Coast of NZ and usually about 15,000 people end up coming and partaking in the crazy foods that are on offer. Of course there was a beer tent, an entertainment tent - where the NZ Army Band performed - and ROCKED the house - both in the afternoon and at the evening celebrations.

Good times were had by all - thanks to Alex, Sylvan and Scott
