If you think you know your yams from your yabbies, gather up a few like-minded friends, at least one of whom should know their way around a bottle of wine, and enter a team for The Great Irish Foodies Quiz in Fallon & Byrne (top floor), Exchequer Street, Dublin 2 on Wednesday, March 18th at 7.30pm.
The entry fee is €80 per team of four, and places can be booked by e-mailing irishfoodie@gmail.com or telephoning 087-0505075. The event is being organised by chef Ainé Maguire, will be compered by food writer Myles McWeeney, and is in aid of Special Olympics Ireland. Super prizes have been donated, including VIP tickets to Taste of Dublin; a pre-theatre dinner with house wine for two at Chapter One; an overnight stay and dinner for two at the Cliff House Hotel in Ardmore, Waterford; dinner for two in O’Grady’s on the Pier in Barna, Co Galway, and a case of Jacquart Champagne. In addition to food and wine questions, there will be some general knowledge questions, so compose your crack team carefully.
