8/23: Taste of Knotts at Knotts Berry Farm
I went to the Taste of Calico, and next up was Taste of Knotts. Comparing Calico to Knotts, I thought the event was more thought out, the whole park was open, and the shopping was much much better. But of course what is this about if not the food?
Given that the whole park was open, the food options were also much larger. This time we were smarter in picking our options and not just going in for the first item we saw. The first item was Carnitas Fries with Pico De Gallo and Sour Cream. It really only was missing Siracha Ketchup. Nice take on Nachos, but with Fries.
From Savory to Sweet, we literally saw someone else with this item and decided we had to eat it next. I introduce to you, Blue Velvet Lemon Cookie which with Vanilla Ice Cream. Yeah it was as good as it sounded. A refreshing mix of blue velvet and lemon and creamy vanilla. It was also massive in size and got everywhere. Yum.
Back to savory, nothing hit the spot better than old school Macaroni and Cheese! My friend got the “spicier” version but I was told it was not that spicy. The extra cheese was nice, and I normally have a hard time eating Mac and Cheese outside of the house do to fake cheese allergies. The cheese sauce was excellent.
Finally, it was nice to finish off the day with something to drink-and the longest line of the day was for the Unicorn Icee- Orange Fanta, Blue Raspberry, Red Cherry, and Yellow Lemon....paired with a Watermelon Lemonade. It was so refreshing and the first time in a long time that I got a brain freeze. It made me feel young again.
Lastly, I want to speak to the shopping. Every part of the park had their own goodies, like face masks. There were special event items (like shirts and pins) which play to Knotts celebrating 100 years during COVID 2020. Also, we were able to find a golden special edition snoopy that is only out for the 100th year anniversary. Knotts is also in the pin game? They are not that bad, and quite charming in design actually.
