Olympic Food Celebrations

Article Type: Food facts From: Nutrition & Food Science, Volume 41, Issue 2

The 9th British Food Fortnight took place from 18 September to 3 October and fired the starting gun for food celebrations during the Olympics with the biggest ever celebration of the diverse and delicious food that Britain produces. This year’s event was a warm-up for 2012 when the dates of British Food Fortnight will change, for one year only, to run at the same time as the London Olympics. Shops, pubs and restaurants responded to the challenge by trial running patriotic British food promotions in preparation for welcoming the world to Britain. Highlights included.

In Olympic year, British Food Fortnight takes place from 27 July to 12 August 2012. For further information, see: www.lovebritishfood.co.uk
