Publisher's Synopsis
The Isle of Wight is nationally acclaimed as a producer of quality food and drink, known to locals as Nammet. Varied produce with an island provenance now finds its way to restaurants, food markets, delicatessens, and shops all over the UK, driven by a passion for quality and taste. Nammet is a celebration of the very best food and drink that originates from the beautiful, warm, and sun-blessed shores and waters of the Isle of Wight. This book vividly reveals the fascinating backgrounds of the dedicated and often eccentric Islanders behind the delectable produce. It has been produced for the Earl Mountbatten Hospice, a vital Isle of Wight charity that raises funds through events such as Walk the Wight, which attracts over 10,000 participants each year. The book is a perfect keepsake for Islanders, visitors, and armchair travellers with taste. From an Island already famed for its scenery, Queen Victoria, Lord Tennyson, music festivals, dinosaurs, hovercraft, sailing, and its very own curious dialect, here is a feast of brocks (traditional dishes), including dewbit, jipper, and harlens. Put on yer yepper and get ready to enjoy the finest island Nammet!
