New podcast episode celebrates Tipperary food producers
Podcast hosts Dee Laffan and Oisin Davis want to showcase and celebrate the pairing of Irish food with Irish drinks through their brand new podcast ‘Beár Bia’
A new podcast 'Beár Bia' created by hosts Oisin Davis and Tipperary's own Dee Laffan was recorded in Clonmel this week.
Translated to English as Food Bar, Beár Bia's key mission statement is that local foods taste best when enjoyed with local drinks and Ireland is no exception.
The hosts reached out to The Tipperary Food Producers network, which is a community of artisan producers working together to create quality, nourishing food and sustainability.
Representing the Tipperary Food Producers Network on the day was Nuala Hickey, also of Hickey's Bakery in Clonmel whose amazing barm brack was sampled to start the day off nicely. Hosts then met James O'Donoghue, owner of Longways Cider who are based just outside of Carrick on Suir. James brought a few bottles of his Tipperary Cider with him as well some Con's Apple Cider from The Apple Farm in Cahir.
The pair sampled Con's Apple Cider with some excellent bacon ribs from Crowe's Farm & Butchers who are based in Dundrum, Tipperary and have been in operation since 1981.
Cashel Blue cheese and Tipperary made Blanco Niño smoky chipotle corn tortilla chips were then paired with Longways Tipperary Cider in the episode.
Beár Bia can be accessed on Spotify, Apple or wherever you get your podcasts.
