Sing it with me: ‘Somebody’s
got some local, organic sausages,
Somebody’s
got some local organic sausages,
Somebody’s
got some local organic sausages,
To
put on the harvest table’
Ahh that song brings back some memories; the parquet floor, my
grey pinafore dress, Miss Sutton hammering away on the out of tune piano as the
September sunlight streamed into the lunch hall.
I dearly hope that it was not just Liphook Infant and Junior
Schools who sang this song every year for their harvest festival, in my mind it
was as common as ‘We plough the fields and scatter’, anybody with me? Back then it was always tins of beans and
chocolate biscuits on the harvest table anyway.
That has all changed, thank fully, as we will indeed be serving delicious local,
organic Lambourne sausages and very local free range eggs in hand made
flatbreads with salad, onions and homemade ketchup at the City Harvest Festival
this Saturday (22nd) at Capel Manor in Enfield. Renee has skilfully hand made nearly 200
delicious flatbreads this week and we are keen for you all try them along with
some wonderful, local as you can possibly get organic meat. Yummy.
In keeping with the Harvest theme I will be preparing some fruit and
veggie themed cakes: Velvet chocolate beetroot, lemon drizzle, feisty ginger
squares and squash muffins. Our old
favourites tea, real coffee and organic apple juice will, of course, be available
too. If you prefer vegan cuisine, come
and visit our friends at Norman Loves Soup who will be serving nearby. Who wants digestives and tins of mushy peas
when all this is on offer? There will
also be lots of family fun and chances to meet the animals.
Renee and I are very excited to be part of this. It is going
to be a wonderful day. We hope to see you there. Now it’s back to planning the baking….only
150 portions to make by Friday…good job I love it!
