I'm all for bringing my own grub, but the idea of a mini tesco's sounds quite appealing

They have nearly every food possible there!

Including some bad-ass pancakes!

Ooo...and fruit smoothies...

Depends on the festival, Glastonbry and Beatuful days have a very wide variety of heathy (and not so healthy but very yummy) tasty and good value food (or at least food that tastes like its well worth the money you spent on it).

Others, it varies.

The idea of popping down to a general store to pick up an egg, a couple of slices of bacon, a large flat mushroom, and a couple of potato cakes for my brunch, or some stewing beef, a stock cube and a handfull of stew/soup veg for a supper appeals. When they do appear, they are normally selling pre-packed stuff, this means waste (for less than about 4 people). I don't like waste, I even less like the idea of uncooked food in my tent for any period of time (it goes off way too quick, the creepy crawlies like to hunt it out etc). yes, there are bush fridges and evaporator fridges, but the cost and their bulk make them inpractical for someone comming by public transport.

Must admit I have not seem much in the way of a 'traditional food market' at Glastonbury. I reckon its because its more cost effective to provide cooked food than store it (higher profit margine as well).

So, its dried stuff all the way (Cuppa soups, pasta +sauces, smash etc). A few (but not many) tins. and eat out a lot.

I hope this is a joke.

Tescos are the antithesis of Glasto

[Paadzer]

there is over 300 food stalls at Glastonbury so I am sure you will find something healthy.

I always try something different from a burger, chips or pizza.
The curried goat is lovely (apologies if you are a vegetarian), lovely mexican food stall near the jazz world, good chinese place, etc

[Emma1310]

don't remember there being too much of a healthy choice at V festival. Think there was one veggie stall which sold mostly salads and sandwiches. Other than that it was the usual mix of curry, paella, burgers etc

[!SAL]

places like V and Reading cater for a target market of people who eat at macdonalds regularly

Glastionbuty, beutiful days I know has a much more varied food outlets.

It all depends which festival you're going too!

[ChuckieEgg]

I always go to one of the vegetarian stalls at least once whilst I'm there in order to get something I feel is probably a bit more healthy and nutritious than suspicious meat. Smoothie and juices are good too, but pricey of course.

Glasto food is really good if you look around
