Pork tasting
Sizzling pork will be offered to visitors for tasting at the pork industry's stand at the Canterbury show.
Trim pork and Q-mark bacon will be cooked at three daily demonstrations in Canterbury Court. The cooking sessions will include the use of microwave ovens.
Trim pork was developed as the result of a consumer
research study which showed that only 20 per cent of the population consumed 80 per cent of the country’s pork. The trim pork cuts are taken from baconweight pigs rather than porkers and are trimmed of all excess fat, rind and bone. The pork industry’s stand will run a daily draw for prizes of 10 packs of Qmark bacon. Apart from the pork stand and the young farmers section, the Canterbury Court “Opportunities in Agriculture Exhibition” will contain displays by many agriculture-related organisations. The Federated Farmers' cadets scheme ensures farm cadets receive training in practical tasks as well as theory, and the Christchurch Polytechnic offers a range of farm-related courses. Lincoln College’s display will have a theme of “Meeting the challenges ahead” Other exhibitors will include the Rural Bank, the Meat Producers’ Board, the Accident Compensation Corporation, the KarikaasLobum Dutch Cheese Farm, and the B.N.Z.
