The best meal I have ever had, beating even the twelve part antipasto in a
Slow Food restaurant in Italy! It was exemplary, in terms of using high
quality local produce, identifying the origin on the menu and - really
importantly - the staff introduced each dish as it arrived, so that we knew
which vegetables had come from the garden and how the dish was prepared.

Dear all

I hope you enjoyed this event as much as I did and what a good turn up! so 27 of us tasted 4 different coffees this morning followed by a typical Italian Sunday lunch. The guys from Union Handroasted had kindly provided us with samples and leaflets which we distributed at the end of the event. The Old Dog and Badger (Medmenham) landlord, Carlo Arrigoni, hosted us and served us a beautiful lunch. Jeremy brought his cafetieres and moka to tell us about the differences in taste generated by just changing your coffee making tool (point followed by evidences!)

Here is the tasting list for the "Perfect Cheese Board" event that was held at the Vault and Garden in Oxford on 30th October 2007.
