FRIDAY’S FOOD SHORTS

FRIDAY’S FOOD SHORTS

It's back! The return of the famous (or infamous) Mannings Emporium Food & Drink Fair, will take place on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 June. Mark it in your diary for a fun filled weekend of food and drink tastings, live music, cookery demonstrations, food quizes and much more.
Gourmet food shop, deli & cafe.

Manning's at Blarney Farmers Market
Manning's is a West Cork " food mecca with the best artisan produce in the area, wide selection of irish and continental farmhouse cheeses, a range of wines from around the world and an array of other artisan goodies!" Open daily 9am - 7pm. More info here  http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mannings-Emporium/125428607483109

Nash19Cork, perhaps my favourite day-tiem restaurant in Cork also have a fantastic shop. One of the latest products here is Organic Belgooly Buttermilk from John and Mary Cronins Farm. "We used it in our pancakes"...http://fb.me/KjFBQDu3

Ben & Jerry’s newest flavourCoconUtterly Fair has mouth-watering chocolate ice cream with a rich coconut swirl and chocolate covered caramel crunch clusters. In 2010, Ben & Jerry’s announced it would convert all of its ice cream to 100% Fairtrade, by using fully Fairtrade ingredients by year-end 2011 and the crew are right on track with CoconUtterly Fair.

Made with four Fairtrade Certified ingredients including vanilla from Madagascar, sugar from Belize and cocoa from the Dominican Republic, Coconutterly Fair is certainly the fairest of them all. On top of that, Ben & Jerry’s need for Fairtrade Certified coconut provided the first Fairtrade customer for Acopagro, a Peruvian farmer cooperative. That’s sure to leave a sweet taste in your mouth!
