I reckon one of the best jobs in the world would be making fudge. The fun of creating new flavours and varieties would be something worth waking up to each day. To find out if the job lived up to my expectations I chatted to the man Behind Deeping Fudge, Les Green.
I also explored Lincoln’s continental market to find out what European treats were available on the city’s high street.

Les Green is in charge of Deeping Fudge so spends his days making, selling and eating fudge. It sounds like an enviable life. Chatting to Les I found out how to make fudge as well as how to come up with different flavours of fudge.
Although Les admits that it isn’t always that hard as one of his award winning flavours, chocolate and chilli, was created by accident. I also asked the crucial question of if you can ever get fed up of eating fudge.

Every few months Lincoln’s high street gets treated by the continental market. It is organised by Lincoln BIG so to find out more I spoke to Michael Armstrong, who was responsible for the event. You can listen to the interview with him right here:

Hopefully it will give you an idea of what stalls were there as well what different types of European food.
