Kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo, ndenze uhambo lwam lokuqala ukuya kwi-Gilroy Garlic Festival. Esi siganeko esithandwayo saseMntla California sisoloko sifakwe njengomnye wemikhosi yokutya yasehlobo yase-Melika. Ndacela umhlobo wam uCesar ukuba ndijoyine ngenxa yokuba wakhulela eGiliroy kwaye wayenomdla okukhumbulayo, uye waya kumthendeleko unyaka ngamnye njengomntwana. Kwakhona wabelana ngamanye amathiphu akhe okugqwesileyo ekuhambeni kwesi siganeko esithandwayo (kunye nesigxina!).
Nazi izicwangciso zethu zokufumana uninzi kwiSikhumbuzo seGilroy Garlic:
- Cwangcisa ukufika apho umcimbi uvula. Okokuqala, ukuba uqhuba, uzakufuna ukupaka kwinqanaba elide kwaye ulinde iibhayisekile zokuhamba ukuze zifike kumcimbi. Okwesibini, ukuhamba kusasa kukunceda ukubetha izihlwele ezifika emva kwemini.
- Cinga ukuthatha iCaltrain kweso siganeko. Umthendeleko uphawula i-shuttles ukusuka kwisikhululo saseGilroy Caltrain ukuba uthenge ukuhambelana komcimbi weThiktrain kwi-intanethi.
- Yiya ngoLwesihlanu okanye ngeCawa. Iintsuku zokugqibela nezokugqibela ziba nabemi bambalwa kuneMgqibelo.
- Thenga amathikithi akho kwangaphambili. Ukuba uyawuthengisa amathikiti kwi-Eventbrite yoluhlu lwe-Eventbrite, uya kulondoloza ixesha kumgca kunye nemali, ukuba ukhetha ithikithi lokungeniswa kweGourmet Alley.
- Ngaba uhlala endaweni (Gilroy, Morgan Hill, San Martin, Hollister, San Juan Bautista okanye Aromas)? Ukuba kunjalo, ungagcina i-$ 5 ngomntu ngamnye xa ungena ngoLwesihlanu, okhethwa ngokuba ngu "Usuku lweNgingqi."
- Yilungele ukushisa-itshisa kakhulu (i-100+ degrees Fahrenheit) eGiliroy ngexesha lehlobo. Ugqoke ngemibala ekhanyayo, ugqoke i-sunscreen kunye nentonga, uze ufake ibhotile yamanzi.
- Gcina igumbi lokusampula izinto ezininzi njengoko unako. Ukutya okumileyo kunye nabathengisi bakhonza zonke iindlela zokugqithisa njengegalikhi-ifakwe ioli yeoli, iviniga, i-mayonnaise, i-sauce eshushu, i-mustard kunye ne-garlic jelly.
- Ungaphuthelwa iisampulu zamahhala ze-krikhi ice cream! Ungesabi, kuyamangalisa ukuthakazelisa kwaye kucebile nge-vanilla. Igalikhi yayibonakala kwinto yokuqala, kodwa yayingenangqiqo kwaye iphela. Ndandingathembeki, kodwa ngokwenene ndonwabile.
- Ungaphuthelwa iwayini le-garlic! I-Rapazzini i-Gilroy I-Winery isoloko igalela iisampuli zeewayini ezimbini ezahlukeneyo ezigayiweyo, i-Chateau de Garlic Red kunye neCateau de Garlic White.
- Gcina igumbi ukuba udibanise kwi-Gourmet Alley, iintente ezithengisa ukutya okuninzi okuphekiweyo okuyiyona nkwenkwezi yomcimbi. Ezi zinto zaziquka i-sandwiches, i-sausage yase-Italy kunye neengqayi, ezinomsila wezonki.
- Yeka ukuba ubukele "i-Pyro Chefs" kunye ne-flame-ups enkulu ekukhanyeni ngexesha belungiselela ukutya kweGourmet Alley. Umculo olahlayo uphawula ukusebenza kwawo okumangalisayo.
- Khangela abadayisi bezobugcisa kunye nezobugcisa, ezininzi ziquka i-garage-inspired-housewares, impahla kunye nobugcisa.
- Zizivelele kwaye uqaphele ukuba ungadli ngokutya. Ukutya okutywebileyo kunokuba nzima ukuba isisu. Thatha ikhefu eziqhelekileyo ukuze ujabulele iintetho zokutya kunye nomculo kwaye uzame ukushiya umthendeleko ngaphambi kokuba uzalise ngokupheleleyo. Uya kuzibulela kamva!
