12,000 sample four-day TasteFest

IT was a day made for picnics and eating outside.

And hundreds obliged at Cork’s Fitzgerald Park yesterday — sipping cold drinks, eating ice-cream and soaking up the sun at the final day of TasteFest.

With such gourmet delights such as blackened swordfish with banana ketchup, Ballycotton fishcakes and Irish Angus sirloin steak, the foodies weren’t disappointed either.
