This is the first major initiative under the Tesco Celebrate Taste Northern Ireland 2012 campaign which aims to encourage customers to enjoy a wide variety of local food and drink while connecting with the passion and expertise of the producers and growers behind it.

Gerarda O’Connor from Tesco said: “For us Celebrate Taste Northern Ireland 2012 is all about telling the story of relationships Tesco has with the many local food producers, large and small, whose products we stock. By encouraging families to take part in this competition we’re hoping everyone involved will learn some more about the fantastic food industry we have in Northern Ireland and that meal times will become a truly family occasion.”
