Our founder Tim McCarthy — Black Fire's resident spice alchemist — sat down with Sharon Noonan for an episode of The Best Possible Taste, recorded at the 2024 Invest NI Food and Drink Showcase.
It's Tim's second appearance on the show (the last catch-up was at the Balmoral Show), and there was plenty to update on: where Black Fire is headed, what's coming next, and the ongoing pursuit of flavours bold enough to earn their place on the table.The episode is a proper tour of Northern Ireland's food scene.
Grainne Moody, Interim Director of the Invest NI Food & Drink Division, opens proceedings. From there, Sharon works through Carlos Capparelli of Capparelli Artisan Pasta, Jack Coulter of Crust & Crumb Bakery, Kate McIldowney of Slim's Healthy Kitchen, and Bryan Boggs of Clandeboye Estate Yoghurt — who close things out on the back of a recent award win.The Best Possible Taste is Ireland's longest-running food and drink podcast, and the company on this episode is genuinely good. Worth a listen even if you skip straight to our bit — though we'd rather you didn't.Have a listen
