Done, and good luck.

Not sure what part of Asia you are referring to, but if you are going to be making noodles based dishes please don't make them too greasy.

I fail to see how so many of these stalls can't cook a decent noodles dish

[t8yman]

Done and good luck.

I'm sure you have done some homework before launching into this. But please dont confuse the real benefit of Fair Trade with the utter marketing bollocks that is organic.

I would gladly pay a little extra for fairtrade, but would never pay extra for organic. I would gladly pay considerably more for a great burger or pulled pork sandwich than I would for a mass produced, cheap as chips one.

Organic ingredients are gonna cost you a lot more from your suppliers, are going to normally be of inferior quality, and are going to start going off a lot sooner than their non organic cousins.

Its a balancing act between margin and quality, and good quality non organic might be the make or break point for your business.

Apologies for the rant, I genuinely wish you luck.

Done - we're quite partial to a nice tray of noodles at a festival!

[grumpyhack]

Done. For me it's quality not cost that counts. I'd rather pay a few quid extra for a really well cooked meal full of flavour.

Survey completed.

It doesn't matter what they're selling, as soon as I see the word organic I usually go the other way. I associate organic with overpriced.

I once paid a £1 for one slice of buttered toast at Glastonbury Fucking rip off but bloody hell did I enjoy it

One of the best bits of camping equipment we ever invested in was a camping toaster. Folds down to the size of a dinner plate and you can toast five slices of bread at a time.

Toast and marmalade, toast an pate or just toast. Highly recommended. Sits on top of a single burner stove.

To a degree, but it also hints the vendor is that bit more concerned with quality, so I'm hoping they will be that bit more fastidious in preparation and not giving me food poisoning, etc.

[t8yman]

I have never understood the fray bentos pie. I've never understood why anyone would even hold one in their hand. There is nothing even remotely appealing about them.

You are a sick, sick puppy.

One of the joys of festivals for me is the food. I find these days the quality and variety is generally pretty good, particularly at Glastonbury. Gone are the days of greasy burgers. You can eat from round the world.

There is also something about the combination of the fresh air and the munchies that certainly makes stuff seem appealing at the time.

I once ate octopus at Glastonbury. I think it was a forerunner to the now fine dining experience. Anyway, it was all set out nice, candles on the tables etc. Then you just had to turn your head to the outside bit to see that everyone was covered in dirt, for it had been a muddy year. I mean everyone was head to toe in the stuff. It made for an overall bizarre dining experience.

[viberunner]

I BBQ on the Thursday night. Gives me something to do having set the camp up, and decent feed before a weekend of noodles and chemicals. Last year was Lamb chops, masses of 'em.

In respect and awe of Yog's fine dining experience, this year I'm going to BBQ a lobster. I shit you not.

[viberunner]

An excellent choice. The backdrop of Glastonbury is probably the finest dining setting you'll ever come across. BBQ'd lobster will be right in it's place.

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Cool, except I won't be going to Glastonbury but "the miniature Glastonbury of the North", Kendal Calling.

Lovely setting, but, well, more Betty's Hotpot than Champagne & Lobsterpot (bless 'em).

[viberunner]

I'm pretty sure the back drop of Kendall Calling will be just as magical a place to eat a crustacean. Wishing you fun as well as fine dining.

[insertwittynamehere]

I'll be honest and say food isn't an important part of a music festival for me. I normally will take a disposable barbeque with a few sausages and burgers. When that runs out I'm happy just to have nuggets and chips from wherever is the cheapest.

[Thearg]

I will spend more money on good food at a festival and choose it carefully.I don't eat shit food at home so I'm not going to do it at a festival.Food has vastly improved at festivals in the last ten years and I do look out for my favourite ones and I'm sure I'm not the only one so to the OP good luck I like the sound of your enterprise and will look out for you,like sound of the name as well but remember you're only as good as your last meal so consistently good food is important

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

It will be, but I'll be getting some strange looks, though thinking about it I get strange looks all the time not least because I'm strange looking...
