cheesy

The Quesarte artisan cheese fair is taking place this weekend and I was invited to the inauguration, which included a VIP tour of all 26 stands (!!!) to talk to the producers and taste their products. Obviously there were far too many to actually sample them all, but it was both educational and very tasty. This was followed by drinks and snacks upstairs but, you know, it was all I could do to manage a little jamón after all that.

There have been a lot of these amazing gastronomy & wine events lately, most of them taking place outdoors. I don’t think the organisers had counted on 25º and blazing sun in November though as awnings and umbrellas only offered partial protection, which is not great for either the products or consumers.

ali kaye

I’ve known Ali & Kaye on Twitter for ages (and they have been real life best friends since 2011, though they live on opposite sides of the Iberian peninsula) so it was great to finally meet them both in person and take them out on a tapas tour. As they have both been to Sevilla before we decided to eat our way around Triana and it was a fabulous afternoon. Honestly these two are like a comedy team, funny AF and constantly playing off each other, and hey, they thought I was funny too! Always makes a nice change when people think I’m funny and not a cranky old cynic who hates everything and everyone (who me? 😇).

We even went into “overtime” going for a penúlitma after the tour was over and, since I was off the clock, so to speak, I finally felt able to swear properly again. Heck, by our final tapas tour stop we were already sharing pet photos and comparing scars à la Jaws (don’t ask, but I won!). I would have loved to spend more time with these two lovelies, so hopefully that will happen again before too long. Whenever people dis Twitter I always have many happy-making stories like this to counter all those cranky old cynics. 🙂
