IFE - Foodies delight!

Having been to quite a few food exhibitions, the novelty wears off after a while... but this year IFE ExCel..led themselves..!
One of the best products I tried was    !Cho!

Cho! is a range of premium gazpacho drinks, made exclusively in Andalucia, Spain to exciting recipes by award winning chef Alejandro Sanchez.

Personally I preferred the original recipe  Clasico Tomato & Peppers..chilled and delicious with an almost creamy mouthfeel very reminiscent of festivals and sunshine.   In Spain Almond gazpacho is called Ajoblanco... this is a superfood snack blended with raspberries.  Beetroot & Apple is packed with earthy beetroot and crisp apples give a fresh zingy flavour...I'm told chilled with ice, and a slice of cucumber over each eye is an ultimate relaxing drink!  Finally Tomato & Strawberry... a close runner up..but a winner for the non traditionalists - sunshine in a bottle.

The artisian nature and the enthusiasm was so obvious - I was told that 6 Andalucian ladies were the production workforce!  Try these if you can... I see a great future.
