Human beings have a multitude of senses. At
the 2012 Castle Lager East Cape Biltong Festival we plan to satisfy these senses
of yours - from your sense of sight
right through to your sense of hearing, taste and smell. The stalls with their different looks, feel,
aroma, textures and flavour will allow festivalgoers to experience two days of
an awakening of all of these senses.
While the hum of the music from the Castle
Lager Gig Rig acts as the soundtrack to everyone’s Biltong Festival experience,
one should acknowledge that the food and drink - from the slush puppy, hot chocolate,
hotdogs, shwarmas, mampoer liqueur, roosterkoek, hot chips, burgers and biltong
pizza stalls - that are on offer, serve as the aperitif and appetizer to the
best Biltong Festival experience. Food
is an important part of any celebration and all sorts of palates are catered
for at this year’s Festival.
One can see an array of colours and designs
with the many clothing , jewellery and toy stalls boasting their offering as
one walks through the little paths that take one from stall to stall. Memories
can also be made with the photographs stall available as well as plenty of
sweets and candyfloss stalls for the little ones.
The ability to detect other stimuli beyond
those governed by the traditional senses such as the temperature, which will be
at its lowest during the Festival is also heightened, it would be wise for one
to use their kinaesthetic sense to move around as a means to keep warm. The various
internal stimuli such as the chemoreceptor for detecting salt and carbon dioxide
concentrations in the blood will also come in handy when taking into account
the amounts of biltong that is bound to be consumed.
Can you feel the sense of elation at the prospect of experiencing all of this?
