The Isle of Man Food and Drink Festival 'captures the imagination' of the Manx public.
That's from Martyn Perkins MHK who's a political member of the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture.
It's day two of the annual event where a number of stalls and demonstrations give people the literal taste of local produce.
