    I thought taste of Cork was meant to be on every two years but from the website, there is no sign of Cork. Anyone know what happened?

    I thought that it happened last year but I could be wrong.

    It'll be every two years in Cork, wasn't on last year, so should be on this year, that is if cutbacks havent cancelled it altogether!

    I saw it advertised earlier this year to be happening in Cork 25-27th June - but can't find tickets anywhere now for it?

    Apparently they are struggling to keep Dublin going (difficult to get companies to particpate) never mind coming to little old Cork!

    Cork restaurants should take note of Ranelagh in Dublin's, Taste of Ranelagh and organise their own as part of a local festival - people can queue up and pay for a sampler of 1 of 2 of their dishes. Would work well in all towns in Cork (and across Ireland). At least they wouldn't have to pay big fees to enter and then loose a % of the money on exchanging the 'Taste Currency' back to Euros!

    Would be fab to see some local initiative as we have the talent and food!

    Just off the phone with the taste of Dublin people.

    It was last on in Cork in 2008, and was initially supposed to be an annual event. They had trouble filling the stands so decided to make it every two years. However, it has now been cancelled indefinately. Real shame, I had a great time at the 2008 one

    There is a food festival coming in June, have a look at this site I found www.corkfest.ie. They are saying that early bird tickets go on sale this week but don't say how much :( If it is open air then lets hope the sun in shining!

    Yes indeed, but I too was convinced that I covered it last year too ~ I was adamant! So went looking for my pics and they are dated 2008!

    omg HOW TIME FLIES.
