The menu: Food news with Joe McNamee

Festival flying

How time passes when you’re having fun. And time has certainly passed for the 11-year-old West Waterford Festival of Food 2018 (April 20-22), an event at which The Menu has, in years gone by, put away more fun than a clown school on nitrous oxide. With this year’s theme a celebration of the local ‘farmers’ of land and sea, the community-driven gathering is the usual mix of local and ‘imported’ attractions, discussions, debates, demos’ and, as always, some very top nosebag.
