Best Of The West Festival 2013 At Inveraray Castle, Argyll



Loch Fyne Oysters are delighted to be part of the Best of the West Festival on 14th & 15th September 2013 at Inveraray Castle.

The family-friendly festival celebrates the best in food, drink, craft, music and entertainments from the West of Scotland.

While visitors are being entertained food and drink will feature strongly with the Best of the West Whiskies, pitting all 22 West Coast Distillers against each other in a light-hearted 'people's tasting'. Loch Fyne Oysters are part of the award winning "Food from Argyll" Team who will provide local food to eat, sample and take home. There will be something for everyone including Loch Fyne oysters, smoked mussels and their legendary grilled salmon rolls. Other Food from Argyll producers attending will include Winston Churchill Venison, Inverawe Smokehouse, MacKay Stovies and Home Ground Coffee. The George Hotel will be roasting a hog and co-hosting the bar with Fyne Ales. All stands will have family friendly menus with plenty of choice for all.

Inveraray Castle, the jewel in the West Highland's crown, provides a stunning venue.  The imposing, turreted castle, built in the 1700s for the Dukes of Argyll, sits on the edge of Loch Fyne surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of the west coast.  The Festival will take place in the grounds of the castle with the hills and loch as a backdrop.

With the internationally acclaimed Red Hot Chilli Pipers booked to headline the Sunday and Skerryvore for the Saturday, the line up has over 70 musicians with music ranging from world-famous bands to local pipe bands, young talent, Gaelic, traditional and more modern.

The Best of the West will have a huge amount to keep all the family busy.  Included in the children's ticket will be unlimited access to a host of children's entertainments including a four-sided climbing wall, laser blast arena, bungee trampolines, children's workshops, face painting, a supervised play area, storytelling and much more to make this a great family day out.

A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then
