Milford on Sea Food Week runs from the Bank Holiday Monday 5^th April until Sunday 11^th April 2010 and now consists of 100 events. Not sure how that fits in to your regular week, but at least the bank holiday gives you a fighting chance of getting off to a flying start if you’re that type of person who can’t bear to miss anything.

I’m no expert in such things, but assuming you can get to even the majority of events, there’s a better than even chance of you putting on quite a bit of weight. Watch this space for the Milford on Sea Crash Diet Week details.

Joking aside (I think), you don’t have to be either wealthy or particularly epicurean to find something to do or experience. In the first instance there are a large number of special offers attached to the Week by local businesses, and secondly the breadth of culinary experience goes from the somewhat everyday to the decidedly exotic.

Speaking of the exotic, the Indian Elvis Night (www.indianelvis.com) on Tuesday threatens to be exactly that. If you know what Bhangra is then you’ll want to be there! If you don’t, it’s a percussive Punjabi style of music more recently mixed with Rock and Beats music influences. Check it out on iTunes or Amazon, it’s a seriously nice change from the somewhat formulaic western popular music.

Anyway I digress. Well not entirely. Come Sunday at the Food Market in the High Street you will be serenaded, if that’s the right description, by the remarkable Plonkers Agricultural Orchestra (www.theplonkers.com) who will regale you with ‘Proper Moosic from ‘Ampshur’. Hard to resist. Seriously.
