Gastronomic Delights at the Crackerjack Carnival

I spent the weekend volunteering at the Crackerjack Carnival, an event which is a true institution on the Southside of Brisbane. While it is far removed from my usual 'scene' I was delighted to find that, hidden amongst the maze of carnival rides and show time games, there was a plethora of delicious food to choose from, which went far beyond usual carnival fare. Warranting special mention were the Greek stall, providing tasty grilled haloumi and moist, marinated baby octopus. Steve's Grilled Bratwurst, offering a wide range of traditional German sangers with a full compliment of sides, such as sauerkraut and German mustard. Other delightful offerings included wood fired pizzas, Mexican tucker and freshly brewed coffee.

There was also a glut of tasty homemade fudge, rocky road and liquorice. But alas, I succumbed to the ultimate rookie error: eating before going on the rides!

Bon appetite! Xx
