Times Local Produce

Once again Tastes Delicatessen is taking part in The Times Local Produce offer. If you collect tokens from the paper over the next few weeks you can use your voucher to save £5 at Tastes Delicatessen.

Go local with The Times

The "Go local" campaign is coming to an end next Friday (13th). So anyone who has been collecting the tokens to save £5 at Tastes Delicatessen, should pop along or place their order online within the next week.

Cucumber & Pepper Relish

We have another special offer this week. 100g jars of Tracklements' Cucumber and Pepper Relish for 50p. Sweet and sour and perfect with barbecued burgers. We've only 24 jars, so the offer will expire once they have all gone. Those who know this relish will probably want the full-sized jars anyway. But for anyone new to Cucumber and Pepper relish, this is an ideal opportunity to give it a try.

The Times

Today Tastes Delicatessen are mentioned in The Times! We are taking part in their "Go local" campaign. Readers of The Times can collect three tokens printed in the paper and use them for discounts at selected retailers. So in today’s Weekend supplement, right near the start of the list of "Go local" retailers you will find "Tastes Delicatessen, Eton". I think that is worthy of an update to our press clippings page.

Onion Update

Our guess the number of onions competition has now closed. Thanks to everyone for their interest and participation.

There were 22 onions in the giant jar of Tracklements Onion Marmalade. We had guesses ranging from 6 to 562 and lots in between. For those of you interested in these sort of things; the most common answer was 38, the middle answer was 48 (with half the entrants thinking there were more than 48 and half thinking there were less). But most importantly, one person was exactly right with 22.

In The News!

Our "Guess the Number of Onions" competition made the local paper. You can
read the article online, but need to scroll to the bottom of the page.

HOW Many???

This month we are running a little competition.

It is 10 years since Tracklements started making their divine, award winning, onion marmalade. And to celebrate, a limited set of 350 GIANT jars have been produced, with labels beautifully illustrated by Tim Bulmer. The lovely people at Tracklements have let me have one and rather than eating it all up (which, I can assure you, was quite tempting) we are using it as a competition prize. So now everyone else has a chance of eating it (and I don't).

And the question is "How many onions are in the jar?".

Anyone who enters is asked to make a £1 donation to the Thames Valley and Chiltern Air Ambulance.

If you would like to enter, pop into Tastes Delicatessen, number 92 High Street, Eton, have a look at the giant jar, put your answer on an entry form and pop £1 in the collect bucket.

Closing date is 6pm on Saturday 19th December and the winner will be contacted on Monday 21st.

Good Luck!
