Short List Announced for ’09 Food Awards

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.)

  1. 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:)

  2. 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!
