Sausage Competition

Just to remind you all that the Sausage Competition is coming up in April. Date to be confirmed.This was one of our star events last year with over 16 sausages to sample not to mention the gorgeous black pudding and pork pies.

Our committee member Julie Quenault from Classic Herd in St Peter's was the worthy winner last year but once again it's up for grabs.

All local entrants. Locally made and locally eaten, down with those excellent hosts at the Royal Yacht Club, St. Aubin.

Any one can enter and we are hoping to get a Polish entrant for the first time this year. Want to know how to make them? Here's a few tips from the Guardian.
If you are interested at joining us there or want to enter your sausage then just drop an email to rod.bryans@live.com or phone me on 515141. Or maybe you are just interested in joining SlowFood. Either way we would love to hear from you.

Great blog well worth a look.

March heralds an authentic Indian/Bangldeshi treat at the Cafe Spice in Kensington place. Date to be advised. Probably a Tuesday or a Wednesday night.

Sam will be providing some dishes created especially for Slowfood and advising us of the ingredients and the methods of cooking. Locally sourced ingredients will be used.

This will be one of those rare opportunities to understand why Curry has become the UK's favourite national dish.
