BBC Radio 4 - The Food Programme, New York Fancy Food Festival

Sheila Dillon follows a group of small producers at the New York Fancy Food Festival.

Sheila Dillon follows a group of small producers showcasing their wares at the New York Fancy Food Festival - one of the biggest events of its kind.

Sheila Dillon joins a group of food producers from the north west of England on their journey to one of the biggest food events in the world, the New York Fancy Food Show. They all hope to use the show to break into the market in the United States and sell traditional British fare, from relishes to Christmas cake. 

At the show Sheila meets Ron Tanner, one of the organisers who explains how food from Britain displayed at the show has changed in the last twenty years and how our regional food is now better understood. 

Sheila also meets producers from Wales and Scotland, like the Patchwork Food Company and Walkers, who explain how they managed to get their products into America's delicatessens and food stores.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
