    I've just come back from the Tesco Food Evening and it was pretty good.

    There were a number of breads to try - including walnut, olive, muesli and pretzels - followed by some sweet treats. This included chocolate tart and granola slice. The piece-de-resistance was the bread and butter pudding, with raspberries, which was devine.

    .
    How much tasting do you get ?

    Is there enough to replace an evening meal , or should I have something to eat before I head out ?

    I would say it's somewhere in between.

    You can taste about 10 different breads, with various dips or spreads, then the sweets. The sweets, from memory: chocolate tart, brioche bread and butter pudding (a fair portion), macaroons, granola square, plus a couple of other things I don't remember.

    As it's bread, it's pretty filling, and I would consider it akin to a hearty lunch.

    I had dinner when I returned home, without too much effect. But then, I do live about an hour away from the Tesco I went to.

    I just got back from the Sidcup event. It was great, loads to eat and drink and a fab goody bag. As well as the things listed above I got a box of bakery cakes (two cookies, two muffins, cinnamon swirl, loaf of museli bread (I think)).

    I would upload a pic- but I cant figure out how.
  • Hope I get extras I'm there tonight! ;-)
  • Went to one last night, lots of breads and dips to try and sweet stuff, goody bag disappointing after lists above, got a tiger bread baton, small bottle olive oil, sm pack cherry tomatoes, sm pack button mushrooms and a pack of peppers, to make bruscetta recipe card up
