<\/a><\/p>\n It\u2019s been a long while since we hosted a feast at home yet there\u2019s nothing quite like inviting friends to sit around the dinner table to share food, chat and laughter. Thinking back over the years, it was the planning and preparation of a good old-fashioned dinner party that I used to enjoy almost as much as the meal itself. Pouring over the cookery books, sorting out the china, then spending hours in the kitchen turning basic ingredients into several courses to be shared. Memories of those occasions still hold a special place.<\/p>\n It must have been thoughts of those pleasurable evenings that sparked my curiosity about the Night of a Thousand Feasts<\/strong><\/a> that will be taking place in Kilkenny on the evening of Sunday, 26th October. There’s something about the word ‘Feast’ that invokes memories of warmth, friendship, good dining and fun. Sharing food and drink is one of those simple, primeval rituals that\u2019s survived throughout the centuries.<\/p>\n The organisers of the Night of a Thousand Feasts are hoping that homes around the city, county and beyond will be thinking likewise and \u201cwill be cooking up a storm\u201d, arranging feasts in homes, on the streets, in the local community centres, in local restaurants or in hotels.<\/p>\n However, a night of feasting is more than just an excuse to break bread with one another during the Savour Kilkenny Food Festival.<\/a> It\u2019s a fundraising event for an exciting new education food hub, training and community garden<\/strong> that\u2019s being planned for the old boys school in a prominent area of Thomastown, Kilkenny\u2019s Town of Food.<\/p>\nFeasting with Friends<\/h2>\n
