We were very lucky to have a visit from Wenda from the Livestock and Meat Commission on Monday. She was talking about the importance of supporting local farmers and how the Farm Quality Assured mark on local meat was so important. Wenda travelled from Portglenone to talk about the journey from farm to fork, but to also give a demonstration of just how easy making a meal was with just a few simple ingredients.
Children had the chance to sample some Chilli Beef Pasta and what was so lovely was seeing some children try it for the first time. Some said beforehand they didn't like it or wouldn't eat it, but after giving it a try in class they asked for seconds. Some even promised to go home and try making it for themselves.
We live in hope...
