The short list has been announced for the 2009 Blas na hEireann awards, and you can see the three finalists for each category here.
It was very competitive again this year, with nearly 800 entries.
The winners will be announced on Friday, but everyone on the shortlist is guaranteed a medal.
Congrats to all of them!
(In case you’re wondering, we didn’t submit anything because we’re one of the organisers of the awards.)
Aw, how could ye not nominate Glenish for their amazing yoghurts?! They are the best and most delicious yoghurts I have ever had!
Other than that whinge, it’s quite an impressive display of Irish food and I’m so proud to be from such a tasty country:)
Glenisk…it was supposed to say Glenisk: http://www.glenisk.com/
Sorry, my bad!
We actually don’t nominate products – companies nominate their own, and you have to sign up to be involved. I wanted to do an on-line food awards though, with people nominating and voting on their favourite products. Maybe for next year!
Thursday night late , checking the web prior to our departure from Galway down to Dingle tomorrow for the prize giving and the Market over the weekend. Had a great time there last year and looking forward to some Murphy’s Ice-cream in the home of..
Delighted for the nominations, congratulations to all for their great taste and judgement!! Am honoured to be included in such a talented group of Irish food producers.
Have spent the last few days making Christmas puddings so if anyone down south wants to pick up an early one, they know where to go.. the Dingle market on Saturday!! Will have tasters to provide an early taste of Christmas . Premature Seasons Greetings !!
I am delighted to see that The Foods of Athenry have been nominated again this year for their Christmas Pudding. I bought one last year and it was fab…I will be buying some as christmas gifts this year. I am sure that their other nominations are up to the same great taste.
Hi Kate,
Thank you for your warm comments in relation to Glenisk products. Maybe next year we can get some silverware for our products.
