Prince Edward Island chefs will compete during Porktoberfest 2016.
The October 1 to 31 campaign will include 20 Island restaurants serving pork burgers, bratwurst, pulled pork, sausages, pork tenderloin, ribs, bellies, schnitzel, chops, and pork loins.
Islanders who try each one-of-a-kind dish can vote online for their favourite, with every vote offering a chance to win prizes.
“Porktoberfest is a fantastic opportunity to showcase our high-quality food products and the Islanders who produce them, along with the great culinary experiences found in our Island restaurants,” said Agriculture and Fisheries Minister Alan McIsaac. “The provincial government is again pleased to partner on this initiative, which reminds the world why Prince Edward Island is Canada’s Food Island.”
During Porktoberfest 2016, select local markets will offer weekly promotions to encourage Islanders to serve PEI pork at home. Markets have selected one pork product as their featured weekly special with such cuts as picnic hams, sirloin chops, capicolla, and “shrinkless” bacon.
The PEI Porktoberfest website (www.peiporktoberfest.ca) features cooking tips, recipes, and nutritional information to encourage PEI residents enjoy cooking with local pork.
