Opa!

We live just off the Danforth, which this weekend is closed off for the taste of the Danforth street festival.
That's not exactly a secret and there were hundreds of people out strolling and tasting the food all along the street. In fact there were so many people that this guy
was doing good business in tall balloon hats to help friends spot each other in the crowd.


This was one of those occasions where being vegetarian was not an advantage as most of the food was Greek and therefore, lamb featured heavily along with the usual chicken/pork alternatives. (I was reminded of the bit in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, which was filmed around here, where she announces the boyfriend is vegetarian and one of the aunties say's -no problem, I'll make lamb).



The Mariachi band
were very good and very popular but my spanish wasn't up to singing along.










I was tempted to have a go at the racing cow game though.
Especially as the prize for winning was one of those very cute husky dog toys, see there, at the top of the picture.




The whole thing continues for the rest of the weekend but also on this weekend is the hot and spicy food festival, so how can I miss that one?
The racing cows will have to wait.
