Slow Food Aylsham members will be on duty at the Aylsham Carnival on Sunday 5 July, on Aylsham Recreation Ground, from 2p.m. to 5p.m. 

Slow Food began in Italy, in 1986 ... Carlo Petrini, an Italian journalist, was horrified to find a MacDonald's on the Spanish Steps in Rome.  The concept of "fast food" goes against the Italian culture of good food, lovingly cooked, and eaten in the company of friends.  Hence the tongue in cheek name of "Slow Food" - from this, the movement has grown worldwide to a membership of over 100,000.
