FREE Black Pudding and White Pudding with online orders in October

We were delighted to be involved in the filming of Ear to the Ground at one of our prime beef suppliers farms – Glensouth Farm, the farm of Frank Murphy. At Glensouth Farm the welfare of the cattle takes an absolute priority and the use of innovative new technology has given them the edge.

The show will be broadcast in November.

The awards keep on coming. Our traditional black pudding and our famous Bramley sausages won gold for being the best in the land at the national food awards in Dingle at the weekend. The Blas na hEireann awards are the most prestigious food awards in Ireland and to win double gold for two of our products is a massive honour. Thanks for all our customers who continue to champion our product and support us.

It has been a pleasure to work with Donal Skehan this year. In July our wonderful award winning Apple Sausages played a big part in Kitchen Hero:Donal’s Irish Feast on RTE. Donal made McCarthy’s Bramley Apple Bangers with Parsnip and Leek Mash, Sage and Cider Gravy with Black Pudding Crumble. If you want to cook the recipe CLICK HERE

Donal also published the recipe in his column in the Independent newspaper. We thank Donal for his support of McCarthys and all the other Irish Food producers that he has featured in the series.

The Craft Butchers Awards this year saw Jack and Tim “Do the Treble” as they brought home the best in Ireland prizes for best Black and White Pudding, Supreme Speciality Food Champion with their famous and delicious Sliabh Luachra, air dried beef, and best Dinner Sausage. The Luxury dinner sausage was enhanced by the fine Irish apples of The Apple Farm in Cahir. Our Apple Sausages were also featured by Donal Skehan on RTE – see below.
