Forgotten Food Festival in Norfolk and London

The Forgotten Food programme is an important element of the work that the Slow Food organisation in the UK and also throughout the rest of the international Slow Food movement undertakes as part of its work, and we in Slow Food Norwich and in East Anglia are pleased to be working with the owners of the Fire Pit Camp in Wendling Norfolk to hold the first major Forgotten Food Festival in England. The Festival will be held on Saturday June 6th and Sunday June 7th at the Slow food Market at the prestigious Rosewood Hotel in London, and we are very excited to be holding both these events with the help and support of Rachel and Sarah from The Fire Pit Camp who are also active members of Slow Food Norwich.

Red Poll Beef in Norfolk.

The Red Poll cattle breed is a dual purpose breed of cattle and is a cross between the Norfolk Red beef cattle and the Suffolk Dun dairy cattle breeds, and unfortunately both these East Anglian breeds of cattle are now extinct.

Pumpkin Rescue began last year in the city of Oxford where over twenty groups took part in events across the city and with more than 2,000 people attending these varied events, which included workshops, dinners and other food related events on the day. This year Hubbub has been involved with setting up pumpkin rescue festivals in more than 20 cities which includes our city of Norwich in East Anglia, our region being one of the largest growers of pumpkins in the UK and with that we have a large amount of waste left over after the October celebrations of Halloween. HUBBUB has been very supportive of groups across the UK to help promote this festival this year and they hope that this will grow both in size and importance over the coming years, and already a city in the US has j...
