Description
The pots were once again crackling in Planoise on Saturday 21 October 2023 for the second Bol Bol Bol – soup festival.
On the esplanade of the Théâtre des 2 Scènes, Place de l’Europe and inside the theatre, Ju Hyun LEE’s creations created a colourful setting for the public and participants, a universe of giant bowls, ceramic ladles, dried vegetables and spoons in which everyone could discover new flavours.
With a desire to continue the creative exploration of food and ecology, there were tasty and instructive workshops for all ages. The artistic offerings of Collectif bim, invited by Les 2 Scènes, and the Ricefall participatory concert, presented as part of the POTE festival, took everyone on a journey through the sounds of grains of rice and the surprising nooks and crannies of Place de l’Europe.
At 5pm sharp, everyone enthusiastically made their way to the 19 competition teams, equipped with a spoon and a bowl, to taste the soups they had made and take part in the voting. The Crazy Good Soupe team’s Tom Kha Kai Thai soup won the prize for the best soup, while the Milos team, from the Mission Locale, won the prize for originality with their M’tsolola soup from Mauritius. A panel of judges, comprising a chef, elected representatives and Ju Hyun LEE, was also pleased to award the prize for best presentation to the Halloween soup made by the Planoise Valley team!
