Specially Selected Pork gets cook-off showcase

Four young farmers will battle to be crowned cream of the crop in a virtual cooking contest tomorrow.

The contest, organised by the Scottish Association of Young Farmers’ Clubs (SAYFC), would normally take place at the Royal Highland Show. It will now be staged online as part of Quality Meat Scotland’s (QMS) virtual show.

Murray and Penny Stephen from Turriff JAC will compete against Ally and Lianne Brunton from East Fife JAC in the 45-minute contest, which will be hosted on QMS and SAYFC social media channels.

Each pair of siblings will be challenged to cook a dish using Specially Selected Pork. The winner will be decided by an online vote.

“We’re delighted to be hosting SAYFC’s virtual cooking competition, which is sure to be great fun,” said QMS chief executive Alan Clarke.

“It is fantastic to see the next generation of our industry taking such pride in cooking and promoting our brands.”

The contest takes place online tomorrow at 1pm.
