'Beefy' and 'Lamby' Play The Big Taste Test In Liverpool

YES Cricketing Legends Bowl Over Locals With A New Quality Standard Mark for Beef and Lamb in Liverpool.

The UK's Cricketing legends,' Ian 'Beefy' Botham and Allan 'Lamby' Lamb, played their hardest test to date today with an innings of The Big Taste Test Tour in Liverpool to encourage the region to put Quality Standard beef and lamb on their menus.

The two sporting heroes, who front a national TV advertising campaign to promote the Quality Standard Mark on behalf of the English Beef and Lamb Executive (EBLEX), took to local restaurant, Simply Heathcotes in order to put signature dishes to the ultimate taste test. 

Beefy and Lamby served up signature Quality Standard beef and lamb dishes and encouraged diners to vote for their favourite. Both dishes were prepared using Quality Standard beef and lamb, meat that is specially selected for its eating quality. The new Quality Standard Mark, which is visible on pack in most supermarkets and in independent butchers, features a striking patchwork field logo and enables shoppers easily identify meat that has been selected to be succulent and tender.

Ian 'Beefy' Botham says:- "The Big Taste Test enables the people of Liverpool to be the umpire on which dish is superior. I trust that the public will support my Quality Standard beef recipe."

Allan 'Lamby' Lamb says:- "Quality Standard Lamb is a great player on the menu - I am confident that we will be able to knock Beefy for six!"

The Big Taste Test Tour also visits Bristol, Birmingham, Nottingham, Leicester, Manchester and Leeds where 'Beefy' and 'Lamby' will be mirroring TV advertisements to out-do each with the superior dish. The results of the Big Taste Tour for each region are to be collated in order to announce the winning dish once all fixtures are played. 

Recipes, including those featured on the tour and additional information on the Quality Standard Mark can be found at:- www.beefyandlamby.co.uk
