THIS summer's York Food Festival is to celebrate French food just weeks before the Tour de France rolls into town.
Gathering Gastropods will be the first event at this year’s festival from June 20 -29, as foraging expert Diane Hammill of Wild Harvest leads a special Snail Forage trip.
The Yorkshire molluscs will later be prepared by chefs in one of the Festival cookery demonstrations.
