Harry Krishna tent for you then? 

Where was that last year btw, seems to have floated about a bit over the last few years.  Last place I remember it was near BBC Introducing, I think

I used to use The Krishna tent, but not for maybe a couple of decades, no need I get fed as crew.

That sucks.  Is there much choice?

Saturday (pre festival) until Wednesday - no choice at all

Thursday until Sunday - one meal ticket per day usable at a wide range of stalls, so loads of choice. Rest of meals I cook/prep in my van.

May buy the odd snack or coffee out and about.

I’m excited for Taste of Tibet Momos! Had them at victorious a few years ago and they were amazing. Unfortunately they didn’t return as the organisers wanted a cut of all the food stall revenues. The fact they are almost always at glasto makes me super happy though!

Is this the same place as the Tibetan Kitchen?

If so they were in a new location this year to the RHS of the Other Stage.

Hmmm.  Don't recall them at the G at all.

Might have to start a skippy thread for discussion about things he does like 😂

He's done it a few times when talking about bands or headliners.  I noticed it cos several of them I also enjoyed - but he obviously wouldn't want to be a populist 😉

Any chance that these guys were in the Green Futures field a few years ago, just by where the tunnel pops out from Greenfields?  They had a shaded / gazebo type seating area set up opposite their stall.  I think they gave me a free salad and a pot of tea, and were interested in sharing information about Tibet and getting signatures of support.  Possibly more of a charitable outreach team than a full-on food stall, so maybe not these guys at all!

There were nuff Tibetan outreachers in the mix in 2015 when the Dalai Lama was all up in our business.

A fair few of them appeared en masse handing out flags in the Patti Smith pit.

Our crew cook communally in our own field kitchen up until the Wednesday, cost is paid for by Green Traffic. It proved to be easier that way as we couldn't always get enough meal tickets.

I don't think it was them. It's going back quite a few years now but I'm reasonably confident that the place you mention was a small scale campaign group with very pleasant tactics. Don't think I've noticed them for ~10 years or so though.

Don't think so. I seem to recall that the pando did for it.

Not sure it was necessarily pandemic, but yeah the guy retired.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Retired into a house built from the ground up using surplus unsold oggies.

I had a banging fish finger and cheese ciabatta from a stall by Glebeland but don’t recall the name.
