The 27th annual Great Yorkshire Pork Pie, Sausage and Black Pudding competition from the Confederation of Yorkshire Butchers Council (CYBC) will form part of the The Craft Bakers and Butchers Extravaganza on 11th October at the Yorkshire Event Centre, Harrogate.
The contest is, for the first time, open to all UK butchers, farm shops who make products on their premises. It will feature three pork pie classes and three sausage classes . Winners of each class will qualify for the championship classes, from which supreme champions and reserve supreme champions will emerge.
The supreme champion sausage will also qualify for the 2016 National Champion of Champions Sausage Competition. In addition, there will be a standalone black pudding championship class.
Mike Ward, treasurer of National Federation of Meat & Food Traders (NFMFT) and representative for the north-east on its executive committee, said: “The Confederation of Yorkshire Butchers Councils and The Craft Bakers Association have joined forces to stage this extravaganza – an exhibition organised by the industry for the industry.
“We have high hopes that the inaugural event will prove a huge success, attracting people not only from our two major food sectors, but also the general public who want to experience at first-hand what some of the best butchers and bakers in the land have to offer.”
