- Entries are now open for the 23rd annual Great Yorkshire Pork Pie, Sausage & Products Competition, which takes place on 20th November in Bradford
Organised by the Confederation of Yorkshire Butchers Councils, this year’s later date for the UK’s regional meat trades competition is designed to maximise entry numbers, coming after the busy Bonfire Night period and before the big Christmas trading rush begins.
The contest, which is supported by a trade fair, annually attracts hundreds of entries from farm shops and bakers who make products on their own premises.
There are again three pork pie classes for traditional, stand and speciality cold eating pies, and three sausage classes – thin, thick and speciality. Supreme champions and reserve supreme champions will emerge in both the flagship pork pie and sausage classes.
There are also standalone black pudding and beef burger competition classes, while a ‘New Kid on the Block’ class for the best newcomer to the competition introduced for the first time last year will again be in place to encourage new blood to enter and gain valuable experience in the meat trades competition arena.
The competition website – www.greatyorkscomp.co.uk - features full details.
