Goose Fair Fayre

Mushy Peas and Mint Sauce, a Nottingham delicacy, the food of choice for many who visit the Nottingham Goose Fair.

I've never sampled this food of choice.

Street photography from our Goose Fair visit last week.

A piece of tradition in this shot! Nottingham seems to be a fun town with a lot of fairs.
I love pea soup with ham and I've never tried mushy peas with mint sauce.

@rensala Renee , I've had mushy peas , but never from a Goose Fair vendor and never with mint sauce !!!

[Mags]

Wonderful capture! I don't think I'd be anxious to try mushy peas and mint sauce. But hey! One tiny bite and I might like it. Right?

[Phil Howcroft]

@marlboromaam it's an acquired taste Mags !!!

@corinnec Merci Corinne , stick with the Pea soup :)

[Carole Sandford]

It certainly is an acquired taste Phil! I think mushy peas are the most disgusting thing ever invented! 🤢🤮
Nice shot of the customers though.

Fun shot! Mushy peas are a maybe; mint sauce, I don’t think so….:)

[Peter Dulis]

[Issi Bannerman]

Great capture. I might like those with lamb, but not chips!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Interesting - I would be prepared to try!!!!!!!!!

Our Scout group & preschool run the local bonfire night on a farners field. There are queues all night for mushy peas and mint sauce!

Hmmm…interesting food composition. It must be good tho… I really like the light in this shot.

[John Falconer]

Great colours.
The last time I had mushy peas was about 45 years ago! Yum!

[Phil Howcroft]

@newbank lol, do you join the queue Newbank ?

[Boxplayer]

You need to try it at least once surely...

[Newbank Lass]

@phil_howcroft I was dishing them up as part of the food tent. Or taking orders for them :)

[Phil Howcroft]

@newbank well done newbank , good the you are part of the community

@boxplayer Box' , if we have fish and chips from the chip shot (gluten free Monday / Tuesday, as the wife is coeliac) , we have mushy peas with the meal. I've never sampled fairground catering, although many stalls have upped their game over recent years
