For years, vegetarians, vegans, and pescetarians have been subjected to boring bean burgers, yawn-inducing salads, and tactless tarts. And whilst all of these can occasionally pack a punch and hide an exciting flavour beneath their all-too-familiar exteriors, many non-meat eaters have become very, very tiresome of the mushed-up-vegetable genre of veggie food that they are often served by waiters and loved ones.
Two months ago, I was told I’d be going to Glastonbury as a member of the press. And although I was thrilled to be sporting a cool lanyard and production wristband at my first ever British festival, my anticipation increased tenfold when the realisation dawned on me that I’d be able to sample some eccentric and immensely exciting festival food, all whilst being paid to watch some of my favourite artists perform.
Getting my bearings on day one of the highly-anticipated Worthy Farm event, I stumbled across so many intriguing food options; this is hardly a surprise, considering there are over 400 traders offering their goods to the hungry revellers of Glastonbury. After much deliberation, I decided to opt for some vegan fried chick’n for lunch on Thursday (June 23).
