Selaks is bringing back the Roast
Selaks Wines to-day announced that it is making Sunday August 1, 2010 -Selaks National Roast Day.
There are reports that the roast is disappearing from our menus, and a recent survey by researchers at Chatham House shows that steep rises in food prices are likely to consign the traditional Sunday roast to a rare household event within two decades. With a proud 76 year history of bringing family and friends together over good food and wine, Selaks is determined not to see this culinary stalwart become just a page in our country’s rich epicurean history.
Writer Edna Ferber once said: “Roast Beef, medium, is not only a food. It is a philosophy. Seated at Life's Dining Table, with the menu of Morals before you, your eye wanders a bit over the entrees, the hors d'oeuvres, and the things a la though you know that Roast Beef, medium, is safe and sane, and sure.”
It’s a viewpoint Selaks entirely agrees with. As winter takes a hunger-inducing hold on the nation, New Zealand’s leading wine company feels it’s time to celebrate our gastronomy by dedicating a day in its honour.
