Food For Thought… A mouth watering menu of food related activities and events have been carefully prepared by Flavour of Tyrone’s Good Food Circle and Killybegs Tourism in Donegal, for 2007.
Moving on to the main courses of events, the Tyrone Good Food Circle, invites you to a day out with a difference at Dungannon Park on Bank Holiday Monday 7th May, when South Tyrone’s first food and drink festival takes place from 11am-5pm. The event will showcase local gourmet produce from all over Ireland, tasty food demonstrations from some of Northern Ireland’s top chefs, wine tasting, as well as a summer barbecue, medieval village and children’s entertainment. For more information please click here >> Killybegs, Ireland’s liveliest fishing port and village, invites you to experience their annual seafood celebration, the Killybegs Seafood and Music Festival from Friday 25th May to Monday 28th May 2007. Visitors can indulge in a gastronomic feast of fresh fish, oysters and shellfish culminating with the Grande Finale Seafood Banquet, guaranteeing to titillate your taste buds accompanied with first-class entertainment. Music played in all bars. Events include seafood cookery exhibitions, seafood barbeques etc. Updated information will be made available on www.killybegs.ie closer to the event. For dessert, a Tyrone/Donegal Food Trail map will highlight restaurants, local food producers, significant attractions and heritage sites from the South West of Donegal to Tyrone. This will ensure that no matter where you are in Tyrone or its neighbouring County, you will always be able to find fine food and drink at one of the many recommended hotels, restaurants and eateries featured on the trail. If you still have room for more, you may wish to attend one of the Shared Knowledge Workshops. These events aim to encourage and promote knowledge sharing amongst Tyrone and South West Donegal eatery establishments. It is planned to organise 4 half-day workshops between October 2007 and February 2008 with the following topics:
Workshops will consist of presentations and demonstrations by carefully chosen professionals in each particular field as well as discussion rounds. Updated information on all 2007 schemes and activities
will be available through this website.
