Rhubarb by candlelight! Slow Food North
Yorkshire and Slow Food West Yorkshire have joined forces to
organise this visit to E Oldroyd and Sons, producers of
forced rhubarb just south of Leeds. Come along and see the
plants in the candle lit forcing sheds, find out why this
seasonal speciality, which is only available late December
to April, has developed as a speciality in the famous
‘rhubarb triangle’ and much more.
The occasion commences with a talk at
11.00 am on 24 February followed by a tour of the forcing
sheds and lasts about 2 hours. You then have the option of
eating lunch at the Rising Sun, Whitwood, Castleford,
West Yorkshire WF10 5PT. Telephone 01977 554766. Lunch will
be served at 1.30 pm and will, of course,
have a rhubarb theme:
Homemade rhubarb and
vegetable broth
-
Festival pork and
rhubarb sausages
-
Rhubarb trifle
Please let us know of
any special dietary needs, a vegetarian option is available.
