Irish food awards shortlist announced
Blas na hÉireann National Irish Food Awards have announced the shortlist for 2009. The products in each of the 28 categories – ranging from soups and cheese to biscuits and sausages – were chosen from a blind tasting of almost 800 entries, which must have been a whole lot of fun for the first round of judges!
The winners will be announced this Friday, 2 October, at the Dingle Peninsula Food and Wine Festival (personal pick for the weekend: Sunday’s cheesemaking course with Maya Binder) but, in the meantime, you can see the full shortlist online here.
