Food: deliciousness I never want to give up.

I have this thing, where I really enjoy eating food. Like, food just tastes so amazing sometimes. Do you get that?

So this weekend I went to visit my friend in Manchester and their German market was just beginning on Friday (officially opened on Saturday, but if there were traders ready when they tested it on Friday they could trade from then!). Not only was it the biggest Christmas market I've seen in England (not much of a statement though, I haven't seen many!) - excluding London's Winter Wonderland, because that is in a league of its own - it was also beautiful and smelled freaking amazing.

Naturally we went around and tried every free sample we could haha, especially the cheese. This year they were selling pesto cheese. YES, THAT IS RIGHT, PESTO CHEESE. 

If you like pesto, I highly reccomend getting some. It tasted amazing.

We also had hot Vimto - another thing that tasted wonderful. I think I am going to try and make mulled/hot Cheeky Vimto's when I get the chance/get some Port!

These are the mugs we got it in: the theme of this years market?

Kissing Christmas!
How cute :)

But yeah, if you can go check it out:

Also saw this bike next to this tree in Manchester. I know it's not black and white, but the colour kind of makes this so...! I guess not everything is better in b&w.

Like this: its Sheffields Dam House out of focus. I think it makes a ..nice... (if not a bit standard) background for a phone or something.

But yeah! Conclusion? PESTO CHEESE is the way forward, as is pizza pancakes (make a pancake, put tomato puree on, cheese, toppings of your choice and whack it in a pre-heated oven for 5 or so minutes and there you have it!) and bacon with everything, of course.
