Culinary Treats in Craft Fairs

By Mara Hernandez-Capili

Craft fairs can make us tired and hungry. The colorful sights and sounds and the continuous bargaining, haggling, walking and looking for interesting items can be pretty tiring and energy zapping. What could be more comfortable than a quick rest and a plate of food? Craft fairs are laden with numerous food stalls and kiosks that provide quick relief to hungry stomachs.

One example of a culinary treat that is often present at craft fairs are hotdogs. It is true that we can see hotdog stands and kiosks almost everywhere in craft fairs not only because they are easy to set-up and tear down, but it is also an excellent treat that could fill a hungry stomach well and fast. A hotdog meal is very filling because of the bread that comes with it. Finish it with a glass of cold drink and your energy and stamina is revitalized for that next set of shopping spree!

Ice cream is also a favorite as the continuous shopping can make buyers long for a cold and refreshing treat. A cone of ice cream is a very good relief on craft fair shopping especially on the summer season. Ice cream are also reportedly very famous for kids so they can have something to keep themselves busy while their parents go about doing their business at crafts fairs.

Barbecue is also an example of a popular treat at craft fairs. The aroma of grilling barbecue is a perfect foreground and invitation for shoppers and spectators to come in and see the inside of the craft festival. The aroma and smoke emanating from a barbecue cook off heightens the senses and further enrich the experience. Other craft fair foods include onion rings, burgers, ice cones, popsicles, junk foods, etc. the list goes on and connoisseurs are coming up with new and delectable additions year after year.

Come at a craft fair near your neighborhood and observe the culinary treats they offer.
