A Sugarloaf Scoop! First time for a pudding tasting.
Deal is that two more pigs have a contract out on them and are in all probability not gonna see Monday of next week, hence the short notice! So fresh pudds... An organolaptic indulgent adventure mid week..... a mini event. (Wednesday 14th April at 7:30pm)
Unctuous and Under Threat... or … Pride in our Puddings!
Slow Food Ireland are currently working on a Presidium for traditional Irish puddings, when this is established there will be a measure of protection afforded to these delightful, unique, age old and nutritious Irish foods.
With this in mind, The Sugarloaf Club is thrilled to invite you to an organoleptic tasting and exploration of this fast disappearing gem, to let us all know what we will be missing unless we can get the protection in place.
Both black and white puddings will be made using only freshly prepared local, pork, offal, some oats, barley and of course some fresh blood! There will be no preservatives, colourings, artificial flavourings,
On the night we will get to taste and rank each of the puddings, and all of the data collected will be forwarded on to the National body as part of the project. You will be asked to evaluate and score the various sensory attributes and compare this with an industrially produced version. We will also post the results on our blogsite.
At the end of the tasting we will each get 1 ring of Black and 1 ring of White to bring away and share with others and impart our new found knowledge!!! These will keep for a full ten days chilled, but are at their most fantastic if eaten within 3!
Wednesday 14th April at 7:30pm in the Buttery Café in Newtownmountkennedy adjacent to Fishers. Parking in upper car park. See http://www.thebutterycafe.com/node/4 Bring an apple to compliment the pudding and a pencil for the tasting notes. Apple juice will be served with the pudding to clear the palate. Wine will be available to buy from the Buttery Café by the glass before & after the tasting if required.
