Event: Tequila Fest 2014

I once had an afternoon in Norwich that started with a library book being returned and a quick beer on the way home, yet ended some 14 hours later as the sun crept up over the marketplace. The reason? Tequila, or more accurately mezcal, the drink of which tequila is a derivative (made from only blue agave plants, don’t ya know!). (read more…)

New post: Tequila Fest 2014 | Mezcal, Tequila, + Travels in Mexico

Life is so full of strange coincidences. When I attended a preview drink for Tequila Fest 2014 - the UK’s first tequila and mezcal festival - I didn’t realise that the pictures accompanying the invite were taken by the daughter of a good friend. While me and Mat have enjoyed some recent trips to Scotland and France to sample a drink or two, Anna Bruce spent a little longer in Mexico documenting the production of mezcal and tequila.

Restaurant visit: Mezcal Cantina - Dalston, London

For the build up to Tequila Fest 2014, I paid a visit to Mezcal Cantina in Dalston, East London. This is the sort of venue that has to be seen to be believed. Amazing wall paintings that give a real Mexican vibe (well, at least I think so) and food of the best quality, without a burrito in sight.

Review coming on Foodepedia soon.

Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead)

Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday observed throughout Mexico and around the world in other cultures. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died. It is particularly celebrated in Mexico where the day is a bank holiday. The celebration takes place on October 31, November 1 and November 2, in connection with the triduum of Allhallowtide: All Hallows’ Eve, Hallowmas, and All Souls’ Day.Traditions connected with the holiday include building private altars called ofrendas, honoring the deceased using sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed, and visiting graves with these as gifts. They also leave possessions of the deceased.

Scholars trace the origins of the modern Mexican holiday to indigenous observances dating back hundreds of years and to an Aztec Festival dedicated to the goddess Mictecacihuatl. The holiday has spread throughout the world. In Brazil Dia de Finados is a public holiday that many Brazilians celebrate by visiting cemeteries and churches. In Spain there are festivals and parades and, at the end of the day, people gather at cemeteries and pray for their dead loved ones. Similar observances occur elsewhere in Europe, and similarly themed celebrations appear in many Asian and African cultures.X
