Food — the 21st century expression of individuality

THE concept of food as art was examined at Bord Bia’s third International Speciality Food Forum at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham, Dublln, yesterday.

Agriculture and Food Minister Mary Coughlan, who officially opened the event, said food, like art, is an indicator of lifestyle and identity.

“It is the 21st century expression of individuality, which says as much about the type of person you are as the clothes you wear or the paintings you display.”
