Competition offers somefine food for thought

A MOUTH-WATERING Easter egg with up to €775,000 in grant aid and supports is currently whetting the appetite of five rural communities.

Castlecomer, Callan, Piltown, Kilmacow and Thomastown are all contenders in a landmark competition to select a Town of Food in Kilkenny.

The aim is to showcase the best of the county’s food culture and to work together to deliver food- related education and training programmes.
