I think you have to make sushi with fish frozen for a set amount of time otherwise it doesnt kill those worms.

Indeed. So its easily done. Although very expensive.

I remember one in the Park in a round tent, proper sushi operation - is that the one everyone is talking about? That definitely involved fish as I'm not messing around with vegetables.

Nah, Happy Maki was up on the path between William's Green and West Holts, I think?

Is that still there?  Not sure I've seen it in the last year or two.

By far an above my favourite Glasto food since my first visit in 2002... vanished in 2013 and left a massive hole ever since. Any veterans remember it or have knowledge of what happened?  Id love to get closure!

My wife still talks about the Raging Cajun Fries.

what's the gourmet ice cream situation at Glastonbury?

got no time for the barely frozen whipped shite. would ideally love a Gingers Comfort Emporium type deal offering more interesting flavours. those from the North West who've sampled roving Ginger's delights will know what's up. a baked apple sorbet on a warm afternoon would clean up

Pretty decent.  There's usually a place in The Park, and also one in the theatre field.  Probably others.  Think you'll get the occasional off-beam flavour, though dunno about baked apple sorbet.

The ice cream at the bottom of the park is lovely, mostly standard-ish flavours.

I bloody love Happy Maki as well, but yeah I agree the fake meat is weird. I'd rather just have straight up veg.

nice. can live without the baked apple sorbet probably but anything along the lines of this witchery. i love daft ice cream

Now theres a gap in the market. A proper gelateria. They would be printing money. And really have to do fuck all.

The Ice Cream place at the bottom of the Park I believe is called 'Mendip Moments', although I've never tasted their wares ...

exactly. only joyless squares and hyperglycemics could walk past a rainbow of glistening gelato in no fewer than 20 flavours and say 'nah mate'.

imagine these in the baking sun though. wonder if they'd just dump a scoop in my rum if i asked nice. instant chilly cocktail!

[Woffy]

Where's the best place to a burrito at the festival? Bought a fantastic one year before last but was spangled, so have no idea where I got it.

Oooft what an idea, I could make up a strong gin'n'tonic in a pint class, have a stroll up the the park and get myself a Raspberry&Elderflower or Orange&Lemon sorbet and just pour it in, yum,!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Yup - Mendip Moments is the one I was thinking of.  Mascarpone, Fig & Honey I usually get.

Lot of dodgy ones about.  I got one last year in Silver Hayes and it was OK, though I asked for something with extra hot sauce and he must have deployed something made out of mad, mental ghost chillies or something as it was a tad spicy - and I'm the sort of dude who uses Encona on his breakfast.

Not from the back of the Other stage field that's for sure.

Not a burrito as such, but I got a very agreeable spicy chicken wrap from a Brazilian stall in Glasto Latino a couple of years ago.  Proper burritos - the Mexican in West Holts up by the Goan Fish Curry stall and there's another one opposite William's Green from memory - but ok, not fantastic.

Personally speaking, that Mexican is one I would avoid.

Woah woah woah, sweet child o' mine, Flaming Cactus is a festival classic.

[Untz]

Talking of Mexican, I'll be keeping an eye out for some half decent tacos.

Not into burritos or nachos, but tacos are one of my weak spots.
