Pickled Walnut Competition

Saturday 22 June 2013

Walnuts should be celebrated for the fine food that they are and on the 22nd of June the New Zealand Walnut Industry Group will hold a Pot Luck Dinner, Best Walnut Recipe and Pickled Walnut Competition. It's sure to be an entertaining night and you are welcome to come. You don't have to be a member to attend and you can bring friends. The more people the better because it's all about celebrating and promoting walnuts.

Pot Luck Dinner: 6.30 pm, West Melton Hall

Annual General Meeting: 4.30 pm, West Melton Hall

There are three things that you need to know about.

  1. The dinner will be a 'bring your own potluck' event and there are excellent kitchen facilities at the hall to keep things warm or cool etc. What you bring for the potluck meal won't be part of the competition.

  2. Dishes for the Best Recipe competition will have to be provided separately and four people, willingly drawn at random out of a hat, will judge them, plus a food expert who will also be guest speaker. You will have to be prepared to share your recipe as the winning recipe, and perhaps some others, will be published in the walnut pamphlet that the Walnut Group will be printing. The best recipe may also be prepared for everyone at next year's dinner.

    To register your intention to enter, pleae email your name, contract details and number of entries to N. Sigmund at sigmund@xtra.co.nz.

  3. Entries for the Pickled Walnut Competition will be announced on the night and the winner will receive the beautiful Malcolm and Jenny Lawrence Cracker of a Nut Trophy. To enter this competition a small jar of your pickled nuts will be needed.

This event is all about showing our enthusiasm for our product.

Registration for the dinner and competitions will be necessary so please indicate your interest in attending the dinner and entering the competitions. Preferably by emailing Nelson Hubber, nelson@digitalprint.co.nz or if you don't have email then ring Nelson or Wilma on 03 347 4040 and if no-one answers leave a message on the voicemail giving your contact details.
