Food Expos are so much fun. We come for the ideas and stay for the food!
The vendors are there to sell their products so many of them give out samples of their wares. The variety at the Fancy Food was a step up from the Western Food Expo with an entire area of items from Italy, another from Korea and so forth. The samples give us tastes of products that are pure tasting pleasures as well as new items being taste tested or just being introduced into the market.
Some vendors also have packaged samples, like new flavors of taffee, chocolates from Belgium and even jelly beans. These we can take home and eat later when we are not so stuffed.
We decided to pick up samples for our two grandkids in Arcata as we are on our way to see them from the Expo. I laughingly texted my son that we have probably 5# of packaged samples for the kids. Our thought is to give the boys what they want tonight and then we will go to the motel and sleep. Isn’t that what grandparents do?
