A Whisky Wake and FREE STUFF for Foodies

I was invited to a wake last Wednesday. It wasn’t the sad event you might imagine, it was the William Grant company’s clever idea to boost morale and make sure the whisky is still flowing in these depressed economic times. And the whisky was flowing! Glenfiddich 15 and 12-year-old scotch was the libation of choice to toast the death of the bull market. The event was complete with a eulogy to to the grand days of consumer confidence and inflated stock prices, and a band to serenade the mourning revellers.

Treating us all to a free night of drinks, food and entertainment was a great way to rouse depressed spirits on a cold and depressing mid-winter’s day, and so I have decided to follow the lead.

I am devoting February to giveaway’s for my readers to see us through the end of winter and raise our depressed economic spirits! Here’s a rundown of what I’ve lined up for Foodie-file readers. I’m really excited because I’ve got some good stuff!
