This Saturday, Carrickmacross will see its very own spud tasting competition (An Spud Off Mór) take place in John Joe Cunningham’s at 1pm. Potatoes can be boiled or steamed, without any added ingredients, and will be blind test tasted by a panel of tasters. The idea is to promote ‘growing your own’ and to have a fun competition that encourages everyone to ‘savour the flavour’ of local potatoes. Anyone from South Monaghan wishing to enter their spuds should contact Conan on 086 064 1864. Further details on entry and criteria are available at http://www.transitionmonaghan.org.
