Slow Food Anglia and Norwich Food Festival
Slow food in the UK actively supports and promotes many varied food and drink related causes and projects and the Forgotten Food programme is an important element of that work and also in the work carried out throughout the rest of the international Slow Food movement undertakes and we in Slow Food Anglia and also in Norwich are pleased to be working with the owners of the Fire Pit Camp in Wendling Norfolk to hold the first major Forgotten Food Festival in England.
In Norfolk he Festival will be held on Saturday June 6th and we are very pleased to be holding this very popular Norfolk based event with the help and support of Rachel and Sarah from The Fire Pit Camp who are also active members of Slow Food Norwich. We worked closely with them last year when we held a joint Slow Food and Norfolk producer Festival at their beautiful venue in the small village of Wendling in central Norfolk and look forward to being involved with them again.
The Fire Pit Camp is a popular and well known venue in central Norfolk and it has quickly become a valuable asset to the local community in both Wendling and the surrounding villages and towns.
Rachel and Sarah have been very supportive of the aims of Slow food in Norwich and East Anglia and the Fire Pit Camp will also be one of the first Approved scheme members of Slow food in Norfolk, which will be launched in March in Norwich.
There are Forgotten foods in communities all over the UK, many types of food that were once common place, were well known and eaten by local people have in many cases have all but now nearly disappeared, In the county of Norfolk alone Forgotten foods currently include a large range of fish, shellfish, beers, cheeses, breads, jams and meats and in other parts of the UK Slow Food has already many details of other foods provided passionate active supporters.
We are approaching local food businesses and also asking local people in all parts of the county to help us with finding these scare typically Norfolk foods and with this help Slow Food Norwich is hoping to trace many of these rare foods in the next few months before the Festival begins in June.
Rachel and Sarah from the Fire Pit Camp are already active through Social media with putting out the word about the aims of the Festival and for asking for news and help with tracing the forgotten Norfolk foods and recipes that have now nearly disappeared.
Through the network of groups and members of Slow Food in East Anglia we hope to be able to make some if not all of these Forgotten foods available once again to the public and with this in mind we hope to further the revival of these fantastic Norfolk foods and drinks.
