October in the Channel Islands means the start of the Tennerfest, an initiative designed to boost restaurants, bars and cafes by offering fixed-price set menus. It's been going for ages and remains popular. That has inspired a foodie-themed roundup this week: 🥕 In the UK, a study last week showed that fewer than a third of children could identify a courgette, highlighting an alarming knowledge gap. Perhaps it's down to the fact there is no courgette emoji and I had to use a carrot, he types with tongue slightly in cheek. p.s. there's a PR lesson in here too - credible research gets you coverage! 🍝 In Italy, Georgia Meloni has adopted food as the symbol of her government, and of nationalism more broadly. What is the intercession of politics and food? And can a dish be patriotic? 🍄 In France, a chap is in trouble for developing an app that shows popular foraging sites for mushrooms like ceps and morels. Democratising access to quality produce? Or revealing long-held arcane rural knowledge? 💷 As noted, the tennerfest is back! Check out the menus here: https://lnkd.in/echN_Rg6

It’s officially football season! We love celebrating our favorite teams and whether you are a manager, employee or customer at a venue we have tips, tricks, and resources for everyone to make sure your next watch party or tailgate goes smoothly. Follow these easy tips for a safe night out. Water stations: It’s unlikely that someone will stand in line to order a water. You can encourage customers to drink responsibly by having water stations throughout your venue. Offer food: Another great strategy to prevent overconsumption is offering people food. Whether that means pointing them to your food menu, bringing breadsticks by, or investing in a popcorn machine. Drink specials: Create signature drinks or drink specials with lower alcohol content and promote them. This can be a great way to move products and encourage responsible drinking by slowing people down. Huddle up: Have conversations about uncomfortable and unsafe behavior and all the options to interrupt and help out often.
