Noel is a food innovation national champion

Following on from the clean sweep of the Speciality Food Competition organised by the Associated Craft Butchers of Ireland last September, Nolans Butchers has another National Champion on its list of achievements, writes Brian Byrne.

Noel Lambe, whose speciality Shepherd's Pie, Steak and Kidney Pie, and Lamb Curry won gold in that last competition, won the Food Innovation Award at the Craft Butchers Gala Dinner in The K Club in Straffan on Sunday evening.

His entry was a Breakfast Roll with several traditional breakfast items baked into a pastry. While the judges felt it is still a work in progress, they were very taken with the concept. The key speaker at the event was Darina Allen.

In September, five gold medals were awarded to staff members in the Ready-to-Eat category in the Speciality Food Competition.

The Diary will have more detail on this latest win tomorrow, and appropriate photographs.
