Mangoes, Mangoes, everywhere (Bennington Lordship - Sunday 28th August, 2011)

Its early on Monday morning, sitting at 6am, we are reflecting on our day at Bennington Lordship.

Bennington Lordship was the first place were we tried our lassi last year and we have come back to the place were we started. They have an extraordinary chilli festival which is done once a year during the August Bank holiday. The festival has grown rapidly since it started a few years ago with various stalls making food or condiments out of chillies. Here is a crash course on what we do:

What are Lassis?

Popular and traditional Indian Yoghurt drink which can be served Sweet or Salty.

What do we serve:
Fresh Mango Lassi, made with premium quality ingredients.

The doors were opened at 10am and then it picked up very quickly. Having anticipated the crowds for this year, it was very obvious that there were more people and we did sell our lassis very quickly. We did have a busy period in the afternoon and I had to travel to our local mart to buy up the sold ingredients. Just to say that we did sell twice as much than last year. So 29th August Monday (today) should be interesting.

For the busy period, a huge shout out to our family friends who helped us out. We don't know how we would have survived without you.

We did have a lot of people who have commented on our lassi and the taste. Some say it is like melted ice cream, some say it is similar to smoothies and most just love the taste. We do re-iterate that it is a drink which complements spicy food .

(More pictures coming soon)

So if you see us, give us a way, come to our stall and try the lassi. It is probably the best thing you will do in the Chillie festival.
