Chilli con carne and American brown ale

If you’re lighting a few fireworks for the kids (or yourselves, of course . . . ) tonight and hanging round in the cold you’ll need some warming food and a good chilli hits the spot perfectly

There are very few occasions on which sausages don't appeal but what’s the best pairing for them?

Not really connected but gorgeous apples on display @theartshopandchapel and gorgeous ciders and wine from @olivers_cider and @tillinghamwines at yesterday’s natural fermentation workshop @afoodfestival with @petebrownbeer. The ciders were a collab with @millsbrewing - the UK drinks scene is so exciting right now. . . . #cider #beer #naturalwine #naturalfermentation #apples #oliverscider #tillinghamwines #abergavennyfoodfestivalThere is festival food and there is @baxcooka of @wearewildartichokes festival food. The legendary Friday night speakers dinner morphed into a ‘Friday night fry- up’ this year with salt cod fritters and aioli. pigs head croquettes with gribiche and - best of all - deep fried pasta with veal, leeks and prosciutto. (Swoon) And loads of other delicious stuff as well, cos …. Jane. @afoodfestival good to be back. . . . #friedfood #fritters #croquettes #croquetas #deepfried #friedpasta #partyfood #abergavennyfoodfestival #abergavennyI can see why people sometimes snort with derision when I tell them how hard I work! Today kicked off with 20+ y.o. magnums of Côte Rôtie and Vieux Donjon Chateauneuf du Pape at the @yappaboutwine Rhône tasting followed by the @champagnegossetofficiel Matchmakers competition (which was won by the talented team @fischersbaslow who cleverly discovered that caramelised celeriac is a genius match for a Blanc de Blancs - along with scallops) You’re not remotely sympathetic? Can’t blame you really but not *every* day is like this. Honest! . . . #coterotie #chateauneufdupape #rhone #yapp #champagne #gosset #winepairing #wineandfood #wine #instawine #winestagramvHad the dreamiest place to stay for @ludlowfood at @dinhamweirhouse which is just below Ludlow castle (compd but I did work for my accommodation!). Unfortunately it’s only let as a whole house normally but if you want to go somewhere with a group of friends to celebrate a wedding or a big birthday I can’t think of a better place. (It has its own kitchen - see also @jennychandleruk and @5oclockapron’s feeds) Although I had a blast at the festival - my first time - I can’t wait to go back to Ludlow out of season and explore when the streets are quieter. It’s such a stunning place. . . . #foodfestival #ludlowfoodfestival #dinhamweirhouse #view #river #ludlow #accommodation #ukbreaks Follow on Instagram
