When a show called “V delicious” came to Olympia, the gods decreed it a greens<\/a> zone suitable for foraging.<\/p>\n

\nThe chatty confessions<\/a> started almost immediately: “My name is Karen and I’m not a vegetarian. But I heard there was free food\u2026”<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nNo, food.<\/i><\/p>\n

\"\"
\nSausages! That’s more like it. So, what’s the secret ingredient?<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe secret ingredient is love? How sweet. Love and methyl cellulose.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe toothpicks were edible, too. And hygenic.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe helmet was for diving head first into the crowds.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nBuskers were allowed as long as they were organic.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nWorkshops were available on how to make money from stretching.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nToo many burnt tongues.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nMassage was available to those who could prove need.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nVIPs got allotments.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nMore popular than the lima variety.<\/p>\n
