The aroma of fried onions and doughnuts is in the air which can only mean one thing...
Nottingham's Goose Fair is back. The next 10 days will be filled with fun, thrills and food at the Forest Recreation Ground if you manage to get there due to the tram strike. While adrenaline junkies are hurtled at high speeds into the sky on white knuckle rides, there's some people who visit the annual event just for the traditional funfair flavours.
As well as the nostalgic favourites that make the fair unique - we're talking about mushy peas with mint sauce and the famous cock-on-a-stick - there's also a wider range of different cuisines to keep everyone fuelled. Most of the food trucks and stalls can be found at the top end of the park but there are a plenty dotted all round the ground. Food lovers can eat their way around the world.
As well as the classic fairground fare of burgers and chips, you will find duck wraps, Mexican street food such as nachos and burritos, Jamaican dumplings, pizza, Greek gyros, German sausages, salt and chilli chicken, carvery cobs, Afghan wraps and katsu chicken curry - and that's just some of it. Sweet-toothed fair-goers won't be disappointed with a vast array of sugary treats to keep you pumped even if you don't step on a rollercoaster. The hardest part is deciding between waffles, doughnuts, crepes, churros, ice cream, brandy snaps, candy floss and fudge.
Here's our whistle-stop guide with just a taster of what's on offer - and, importantly, how much you.
