Asparamad about Asparagus?

Cotswold Conference Centre are once again supporters of the Apsaragus Festival and a member of the Community Interest Company.

Worcestershire is launching the worlds, first-ever Asparapancake Race as a prelude to the British Asparagus Festival which runs from April to June.


Evesham will host the race at 11am on Shrove Tuesday and participants, including Gus the Asparagus Man, will all be sporting green in tribute to this special vegetable.

Local celebrity chef, Felice Tocchini, will be cooking up the pancakes for the race which will incorporate local asparagus. However; the search is on to find a pancake recipe that will withstand the most flipping.

Commenting on the race, organizer Angela Tidmarsh said:


"This year's British Asparagus Festival launches on St Georges' Day which is also Easter Saturday and is set to be bigger than ever, taking over the town for a whole day. To get people in the mood for madness, we thought an asparapancake race was just the thing. Given it's the first time we've done this, we're hoping people might be able to suggest recipes for a pancake that will endure some rough handling".
