Food festivals around the world Stilton Cheese Rolling
   May Day is a traditional day for celebrations,but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include cheese rolling in their annual plans.Teams of four,dressed in all kinds of strange and funny clothes,roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre lane(賽道).On the way,they must not kick or throw their cheese,or go into their competitors' lane.Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly,but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones).All the competitors are served with beer or port wine,the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese.
   Fiery Foods Festival-The Hottest Festival on Earth
   Every year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque,New Mexico.They come from as far away as Australia,the Caribbean and China,but they all share a common addiction-food that is not just spicy(辛辣),but hot enough to make your mouth burn,your head spin and your eyes water.Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three days every March.You might like to try a chocolate-covered Habanero pepper-officially the hottest pepper in the world-or any one of the thousands of products that are on show.But one thing's for sure-if you don't like the feeling of a burning tongue,this festival isn't for you!
   La Tomatina-The World's Biggest Food Fight
   On the last Wednesday of every August,the Spanish town of Bunol hosts La Tomatina-the world's largest food fight.A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato fight as the highlight of the week's events.The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes-official fight-starters get things going by throwing tomatoes at the crowd.
   The battle lasts little more than half an hour,in which time around 50,000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves,runs,or fights back.Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again-and for a much-needed wash!

  • 3.Scottish Storytelling Centre,Edinburgh The Centre's idea is summed up nicely by the old Scottish proverb, "The story is told eye to eye,mind to mind and heart to heart".The main draw is its programme of spoken-word performances,most of which take place in its 100-seat basement jye.aiatre.The storytelling doesn't just happen on stage,though.The ground floor has a large,airy room used for exhibitions,workshops as well as a monthly story session for tots (Tiny Tales for one- to three-year-olds).
