For years I have mentioned the Dandelion Festival in Dover Ohio. This was their 17th year of the Mayfest & Dandelion cook off. Not only were there many dishes in the cook off ,which the audience was able to try after the cook off, but the food vendors on the Winery grounds had their own special dandelion theme foods. From Dandelion petal ice cream to Dandelion greens in lasagna. They were ALL amazing.If you have never tried dandelion greens and would like to know what they taste like, personally, they remind me of a mild, fresh baby spinach leaf.
The wine tasting table had an array of wonderful Breitenbach wines, including their delectable Dandelion white wine. I loved their Dandelion wine so much, I am hoping to travel back down that way for a case. That is of course if there is any left...
So on to the video spotlight. The aim of this special Festival edition is to give a new perspective to those who may not see the worth of Dandelions. And for those who do know the worth of dandelions, maybe this will give you a few ideas on incorporating dandelions into more of your meals.
I wish I could have shot more outdoor footage. It did rain while we were there for just over an hour before the cook off. There were so many people, it made it near impossible to get any footage without every 2 seconds having a body or head block the view. Did not matter where I stood- high or low- not a single bit of that footage was usable. BUT I did include shots of thefood in the cook off (Thank you Breitenbach winery!).
