I entered my Piccalilli into the Great Taste awards today. It's the 'definitive standard for speciality food and drink in the UK' so I'm slightly nervous about how well we'll do.
We had a blind tasting last year - but that was only against Sainsbury's woeful Piccalilli. We've also had some great feedback from customers and tastings at the Lamb's Conduit Street festival. It also went down well with Russell. So I'm hopeful of a good result.
I don't know what I'll do if they don't like it. Perhaps I'll form my own pickle awards. I've also heard some bad news - Marc Kennard isn't going to be at the judging tomorrow so he can't influence the voting.
Results are out at the end of July.
The new mast head thing on the blog looks nice.

Thanks - It's my label design. I took me a while to workout how to load it up. Technology isn't my native language.

Ah brand consistency, don't tell John Grant.

Good luck with the awards. When will I be able to get my hands on some?

Cheers Lebowski. I'll arrange a delivery to your office. Would you like to write a review? Or maybe conduct a taste off with Canteen's condiments?
