Pork pie enthusiasts will be
"meating for a mouth-watering competition in Ripponden this
Weekend. The popular charity pork pie contest will see butchers from
across the country competing for the glory of being crowned champion pie
maker.
The event, sponsored by Timothy
Taylor Championship Beers, is organised by the Pork Pie Appreciation
Society, and will be held at The Old Bridge Inn in the village on
Saturday.
Organiser Kevin Booth said the
competition would be in three rounds to whittle the pies down to a final
10. Guest judges include Ripponden Parish Council
chairman Geraldine Carter and
Brighouse artist Peter Brook and they will be expected to munch their way
through about 40 entries.
And the secret to a winner is,
according to pie connoisseur and society member Stuart Booth, freshness,
look, biscuity pastry and a peppery after taste.
The 11th annual event will
raise money for Overgate Hospice, Elland, and judging will start at 2.30
pm. The top four pie makers will receive a trophy, and the overall winner
will receive £100 from the sponsors.
For further information or an
entry form, contact Mr Booth on 07740246172.
