5,000 free curries to highlight food waste problem

Just because it is a wonky shape or isn’t the ‘right’ size doesn’t mean a vegetable isn’t edible.

And on Saturday, March 15, 5,000 people in Cork City will find out there’s no taste difference between a curved carrot and a straight one in an exercise designed to highlight the huge amount of food wasted in this country.

Cork Food Policy Council (CPFC) intends to serve 5,000 free plates of vegetable curry to people in the Grand Parade — all made from food which wouldn’t conform to supermarket norms.
