Last Sunday ESFSW and I plus some good friends headed to Fallbrook for the Avocado Festival! I could summarize the experience as: Where are the avocados? We had a great time but had it not been billed as an Avocado festival we wouldn't have known. It really felt like a really large vendor fair. We had a good time and enjoyed the food we did get and commented on how we could have made everything more avocado-y.
We had a good time with our friends and did find some really good food:
 |
| Free little taco sampler from a local taco shop! It was actually quite tasty! |
 |
| Guacamole and chips! We just wish we had been more or that we could have found the guacamole contest |
 |
| Double D BBQ! The smoked their meat in the locomotive engine. |
 |
| Tri-tip sandwich with coleslaw and baked beans - everything was really good! |
 |
| Avocado tamale! |
 |
| Avocado with seafood! |
 |
| Avocado ice cream from Cold Stone. It was surprisingly really really good! |
 |
| We did a little olive oil/ vinegar tasting at one of the many vendor stands (Pastamore) |
 |
| Our one purchase (beside what we ate of course!) - Saffron Fettuccine |
 |
| Recycled Avocado Tree |
The Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce claims that 70,000 people attend the annual Avocado Festival and after being there I believe it!
We had a great time despite leaving wanting more avocados, although thanks to ESFSW's grandparents we went home with bags full of
Fuerte Avocados and
Mandarin Oranges from their trees. They also kindly allowed us to park at their house to avoid the craziness.
Overall it was nice day out with friends!
