You can’t go home without Bertie Beetle

GET SOCIAL WITH BERTIE BEETLE @bertiebeetleshowbags @bertiebeetleshowbags

BERTIE BEETLE WAS FIRST FORMULATED FROM THE FACTORY OF HOADLEY’S CHOCOLATE IN MELBOURNE IN THE EARLY 1960’S. BERTIE BEETLE WAS DEVISED AS A MEANS OF UTILISING THE UNUSED SHARDS OF HONEYCOMB FROM THE PRODUCTION OF VIOLET CRUMBLE. YOU COULD SAY THAT VIOLET CRUMBLE WAS BERTIE’S FATHER! Bertie Beetle first appeared as part of the Hoadley’s Chocolate Showbag in 1963 alongside Violet Crumble and Polly Waffle. This was back in the day when there were 30 odd showbags available, not the 400 you can choose from today. It took a few years before the little guy broke through but in 1972 he did it – a new look Bertie Beetle finally had his own Showbag. From here, there was no turning back. Decades have passed and the legend of Bertie Beetle has continued to grow. Today there are 6 different Bertie Beetle Showbags available at the Royal Shows and now, in 2018 Bertie Beetle has gone digital, yep - you can now buy Bertie Beetle online. Bertie fans rejoice!

FO R THE BRAVE , T H E B O L D , AN D T H E CU RIOUS , THE 2018 AD E L AI D E SH OW I S A MUS T V I S I T FO R AN Y TR UE FOOD I E . If you’re imagining the traditional food options of fairy floss, dagwood dogs and fried foods then you’re only half right (don’t worry, all that is definitely there). Show-goers are treated to an immense selection of food options including some of the state’s finest local food and wines. Put down the Chip on a Stick and check out some of these fine establishments.

For a relaxed pub style meal, you’ll find the Arena Lounge nestled under the Members Grandstand. You can drop in for a sneaky Coopers Ale or stay a little longer and sample some of Adelaide’s finest wines. And it’s opened all day from Lunch onwards.

The classic The CWA café is still the best place for old school yet classy food. Think delicious baked scones and tea. They also have salads, sandwiches and other meals.

Local Grown TasteSA is one of the State’s greatest showcases of quality products grown and produced across the State. Aunty Joan’s Gourmet Toffee, Barossa Fine Foods, Whiskey, Olives and Honey are just some

of the products on offer. There will be tastings, recipes and opportunities to buy in abundance. Head to the Foodland Pavilion stat. Be silly not to visit… daily…

A spot of wine tasting with the Cellar Door Experience Every day of the Adelaide Show there will be five FREE, 20 minute wine tasting presentations. Attendees get to sample up to four wines in each session, guided by a professional wine educator and an SA food ambassador. If wine isn’t your thing there is also a daily Beer and Cider Tasting too. The sessions are limited to 40 people per session and are offered on a first in, best dressed basis. Location: Farm Expo – Foodland Pavilion (enter from the Kingsway)

Dairy Kwenns Cheese, ice-cream and milkshakes – yes please! The Dairy Food Hall is the place where visitors can sample plenty of dairy products including Adelaide fav, Farmers Union Iced Coffee.

Showbags Yep, there are even showbags fit for even the pickiest foodie. The MKR Showbag features a choice of branded MKR merchandise including a large family cooler bag, wooden serving Board, tong Set and aprons alongside a range of MKR approved food products. There’s also the Arnott’s Tim Tam Showbag with 5 packs (delish!) and of course, the ultimate showbag for any show-goer, The Bertie Beetle Showbags ranging from $2 to $15.

Virtual Reality Farm to Fork Ok so this one isn’t something you can eat (SORRY!) BUT show-goers will be able to experience first-hand what it takes for their food to get from paddock to plate through a new virtual reality experience. Participants will be able to see what it’s like to crop wheat and make bread. Pretty cool.
