This Food Is Rubbish

THIS IS FOOD RUBBISH: ELI’S ROSE + CROWN

Join us on the Somerset Food Trail for an unforgettable adventure through multiple courses of food and drink including a myriad of foraged, reclaimed and rediscovered ingredients!

A communal multicourse meal, conceived as an edible conversation between two contemporary food artists. 

Through This Food is Rubbish, Cherry Truluck (based in Frome) and Annalee Levin (Huish Episcopi) explore food that is overlooked, misunderstood and wasted in the 30 miles of Somerset countryside that lies between them.  In this unique artist-led event, they seek out the roots of wastefulness in our food systems and celebrate the practices that are asking “how might we think, eat and farm differently if we took a zero waste approach to food and drink?” 

This is the second collaborative event of the two artists, who met as residents of Delfina Foundation’s Politics of Food programme and have worked as professional chefs for major restaurants and arts organisations. Both make work which deals with climate transition and the way it is impacted by food’s role as a tangible, cultural and philosophical connection between the body and the land. The first event took place at Rye Bakery in Frome as part of Big Green Week in June.

Supported by Frome Food Network, This Food Is Rubbish will be hosted by historic family-run pub Eli’s - Rose & Crown in Huish Episcopi, where Annalee is also the current landlady. Now in the care of a 5th generation, it has committed to a new sustainable approach; serving carbon negative spirits, reducing waste and composting on site.
