TO EAT You’re not sure ten ciders count as double your fi ve-a-day, and you need a vegetable fi x . . .
H ealth conscious partiers can take advantage of local Perthshire berries on sale in the Healthy T area. Other Scottish artisan produce will be on sale from Argyll-based producers, giving Balado an unexpectedly Farmers Markety vibe. So, you may lose a welly over the weekend, but who knows what deli treasures you may take home? For vegetarians, thali curry (a sort of Indian smorgasbord of rice, pulses and vegetables) and rotis (a bread you can wrap such delights in) will be on sale. The Indian theme continues with
mango lassis and cups of hot chai, both great non-alcoholic curry accompaniments for those feeling a little worse for wear. Drinking-water spots will be dotted throughout the site to make sure festivalgoers stay hydrated throughout the weekend. Bring your own water bottle to take advantage of it. Jumping up and down to your favourite band for hours on end can be thirsty work, after all. Other comfort food on sale includes shepherd’s pie, gourmet burgers, mashed potatoes and chargrilled corn on the cob with lashings of
fl avoured butter – excellent fuel for a night of dancing.
Making the
festival
experience even more comfortable is the Be Chilled service. Eliminating the need for carting a cool box, or worse, necking warm ciders all weekend, you can order cool Tennent’s and Magners Original Cider in advance. Then once you arrive, you simply pick up your drink orders as and when you want them during the weekend. An excellent idea, should Scotland see the fabled sunlight during the weekend. (Melissa Steel)
