Berry
misses out
on tea with
the ‘Queen’
CONOR POPE
Mary Berry was an unlikely
victim of Storm Ali after her
highly-anticipated take off at
the National Ploughing
Championships fell as flat as
an undercooked soufflé with
high winds causing the aban-
donment of Wednesday’s
proceedings.
The television chef who
was the star of the Great Brit-
ish Bake Off on the BBC for al-
most a decade said she was
disappointed to have missed
her debut at the Ploughing.
She was brought to Ire-
land by the National Dairy
Council on Tuesday night
and was scheduled to take
part in a meet and greet with
fans at an event dubbed Dare
to Dairy with Mary.
As part of her appearance
she was to cast her eye over af-
ternoon tea prepared by
three finalists and had
planned to share a cup of ac-
tual tea with the Queen of the
Ploughing, Anna May
McHugh.
“We were in the carpark
and ready to go when we got
word it was being called off
due to the bad weather,” she
told The Irish Times. “It
couldn’t be helped and I
think people responded in a
very Irish way and were very
cheerful about it.”
While she has never been
to the ploughing she said she
was very familiar with Irish
cooking and farming. “I
think Irish cuisine relies very
much on local produce and I
think that’s so important be-
cause we all like to know
where our food comes from.”
Irish Stew
She said in the UK there was
“much more imported food
and it is lovely to see so much
local food, particularly lamb
and beef and dairy prod-
ucts”.
She said she was “brought
up on Irish stew” and still
loves it although her own reci-
pe is somewhat untraditional
and relies on fillet of lamb
with the bones removed.
“I know its not very tradi-
tional, but you have to move
with the times don’t you?”
When asked if she had any
concerns about what might
happen to British food in a
post-Brexit world she played
it down. “I will wait and see
what happens but it’s not
keeping me up at night.”
Nor does her absence from
the Great British Bake Off,
which moved controversially
from the BBC to Channel 4
two years ago, cause her any
sleepless nights. “I was there
for seven years and I enjoyed
every day of it but I have kept
busy since then and I am very
lucky to be so busy.”

Ploughing 2018 Focus SEPTEMBER 2018

The National Dairy Council (NDC) will be NDC’s mini festival
creating an exciting festival theme at this at The Ploughing
year’s Ploughing Championships, with a
packed programme of events, cooking
demos, celebrities, influencers, healthcare
experts and sports stars at their stand.
The NDC’s stand at The Ploughing this year looks set
to be full of fun and festivities. A whole host of activities
are planned including a ‘Wellie Clinic’ where podiatrist
will be on hand to check the health of your feet; football
darts; free dairy ice-cream; a vintage milk float; and a
series of delicious food demos over the three days.
For those baking enthusiasts, the queen of bakes will be at
the NDC stand on Day 2 to talk about her life and career
with Doireann Garrihy. There will also be presentations
with the judges to the three finalists who took part in the
Dare to Dairy with Mary competition, to create something
unique and delicious to be served at Afternoon Tea.
Cookery demonstrations at the stand over the weekend
will also see well-known faces such as Lilly Higgins,
Chef Adrian Martin and snapchat and TV star James
Kavanagh with William Murray from Curabinny.
Lots of debate and conversation around health and
nutrition will be found at the stand. TV3’s Mark Cagney,
social media star Nathalie Lennon and Dr John O’Beirne
will discuss bone health while experts from Cappagh
Bone Clinic will be on hand to o er help and advice on
keeping your bones strong and avoiding osteoporosis.
And, as always there will be a showcase of the
best Irish dairy produce from award-winning co-
ops with sampling throughout the three days.
