Now that's a kebab!

One of the best things about London is the seemingly endless, somewhat random events that pop up . . . well, randomly. We happened upon the Cultural Summer Fete in Clissold Park - not a particularly revealing name but it sounded like there might be some good food, so we dropped in for lunch.


The 'fete' was certainly odd - a Turkish themed gathering of second-hand clothes stalls, jewellery stalls and the occasional food seller. There were a few disturbing doner kebab stalls, but these were immediately overshadowed by the hog roast kebab. Kebabs don't normally sound like a good idea in the daylight hours (not even hungover!), but in theory, if the pitta bread is good and the salad is fresh, all they really need is some decent meat, which the hog roast absolutely was. The meat was soft, succulent and incredibly tasty. Now this is a kebab!


We followed it with some poppy seed and cinnamon rolls (bit too dry) and some baklava to take away (juicy and not sickly sweet).

I also bought some lovely looking spices and was convinced to try a walnut and grape juice log, which looks . . . interesting.

Despite the randomness of the Summer Cultural Fete, there were definitely a few culinary highlights!
