    Foodbuzz Day 2: Tasting Pavillion

    Published: Nov 19, 2009 · Modified: Oct 22, 2014 by Jennifer Che

    This post describes the afternoon of Day 2 of the Foodbuzz Festival.  For Day 1, please click here.  For Day 2 morning, please click here and here.

    The Foodbuzz Festival was seriously an event full of eating, eating, and more eating!  On Day 1, we enjoyed San Francisco street foods at the Ferry Building.  On Day 2, I got up bright and early to taste olive oil at 9 AM!  It was definitely an odd experience!  The rest of the morning, I explored the Ferry Building Marketplace with various new blogger friends I just recently met.

    In the afternoon, we all congregated at the Sony Metreon Building and spent the afternoon samplings various different foods from various vendors.  Here are just a few highlights.  Enjoy!

    Kerrygold butter from Irish grass fed cows.  This butter had a much yellower natural color than normal supermarket butter.  It was quite tasty.
    _MG_2415
    479 Popcorn is a local popcorn company that makes the most interesting flavors.  One of my favorites was this one: black truffle + white cheddar.  It was sooooo truffly and soooo good.
    _MG_2418
    Gorgeous handmade chocolates and marshmallows from Gâteau et Ganache.  I loved these passion fruit ganache filled chocolates. The passion fruit gave a nice citrus-y kick which offset the dark chocolate nicely.
    _MG_2419
    Aunt Else's Æbleskiver  The Æbleskiver is a Danish pastry "similar in taste and texture to an American pancake, but light and fluffy like a popover" (according to their website).  This stuff was incredibly delicious - moist and eggy with a ton of the crispy outer "edge' that I love - I kept coming back for more.  I'll be doing a more in-depth review soon on these delicious pancake-like bombs and the cool 9-hole pan!

    Hong and Kim from Ravenous Couple (who just got engaged!!!!  Check out the story here and here) were Nature's Pride Ambassadors and prepared fried Halloumi cheese toast.

    I met some other great people whose blogs I have admired for awhile now.  From left to right, Diana from A Little Bit of Spain In Iowa, Rachel from La Fuji Mama, and me.  We had such a great time, and spent tons of time chatting during the Festival.  It's too bad we live so far apart!
