Following a local television news item and, being partial to the odd curry, we decided to visit the World Curry Festival in Leeds.
Leeds is rather a long way to go for a curry so we were hoping for something a bit different. It wasn't, at least what we had wasn't as good as we can get locally. There were a couple of stalls that we would like to have tried but after stuffing our faces in an £8 all you can eat buffet we weren't up to it.
It was busy, there were lots of queues but we now have a better idea for next year.
We ate a sit down meal in one of the marquees and shared the table with a couple of guys who had travelled all the way from Cambridge, a hell of a journey, just to check it out. Amazing. Made our one hour trip pale into insignificance.
I think it would be too dangerous for me to go to something like that as I'd over eat. A bit of a conflict in these things here in the UK I think. On one hand it's great to be able to experience a celebration of curries as it would never happen in France. But on the other hand, such festivals always seemed to be more relaxed, less commercial affairs over there. Just goes to prove that we can't have it all!
