OMG - Im starving now

[We4mickey]

I am on a diet and my stomach is growling now. On the other hand I can't wait to sample everything.

[Memph1s]

Love the F&W Festival but bring your wallet. I just added up one of everything listed on the pictures of the menu boards for last year ..... over $850 and that's without duplicating items like waters or soda

Ice wine I believe is a dessert wine. Not sure from what country though. We went to the F&W festivle a few years back. I would have gladly paid a higher ticket price and be able to get more items for free. There is no way to sample many things or you will go broke. In my opinion, this drastically needs to be changed to enjoy the "true" foods around the world.
