ONE of Scotland’s major food festivals opens this weekend with the launch of a new booze-filled adults-only ice cream.
Crail Food Festival, which runs from June 10 – 11 in six venues across the picturesque village in the East Neuk of Fife, will host a new gin ice cream, created by iconic St Andrews ice cream makers, Jannettas Gelateria.
Owen Hazel, of Jannettas, came up with the new flavour by combining his trademark Italian gelato with Edinburgh Gin’s latest release – plum and vanilla liqueur.
This will be the festival’s seventh year with a host of local flavours, tastings, children’s activities, the opportunity to meet the makers and the now famous, Sunday Lunch at the Harbour. There will also be a full programme of entertainment.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
