On the weekend 30th June / 1 st July, Dolphin Sea Vegetable Company attended the Belfast
Maritime Festival on the banks of the River Lagan, Belfast . This was actually a trial run for
the Tall Ships Trans-Atlantic Challenge 2009 and 6 Tall Ships were on show, and the Nomadic

We were there to promote seaweed / sea vegetables and how easy it is to use them. We were
asked by our local Famous Chef Jenny Bristow to provide some seaweed for her to cook with, in
her Masterclass. She came up with some excellent ideas and cooked with Carrageen / Irish Moss,
making an Irish Mist Carrageen Dessert. The recipe is on her website www.jennybristow.com
and is in her NEWSLETTER section http://www.jennybristow.com/newsletter/2007/summer/default.asp#maritime
or in the recipe section on our website www.dolphinseaveg.com .
We will be attending other shows with Northern Ireland Seafood promoting the produce of
the sea. These will in the months of August / September and around the fishing ports of
Northern Ireland Portavogie, Ardglass, Kilkeel, and Annalong.
The Nomadic and 2 of the Tall Ships Jenny Bristow and Gus with
tied up at the Belfast Maritime Festival her Irish Mist Carrageen Dessert
Delicious!

• Postal Strike how it is affecting you and us.
The UK Post Office / Royal Mail are currently in negiotiations with their unions and are
threatening further strike action. We are keeping a close eye on things, but are
continuing to use Royal Mail. At the moment there is a slight delay in delivery times
as strike action is being kept localised and sporadic.
If things escalate, we will then look at using another service for our deliveries.
• A little taste of Belfast City Centres Chocolates!
Box of City Centres
May 18th saw the launch of City Centres Ltd with the Lord Mayor Cllr Pat McCarthy.
City Centres is a box of luxurious milk and dark chocolates depicting landmarks and
streets of Belfast City. So, if you fancy taking a nibble of the Shankill or a bite of the Albert Clock
check out www.citycentres.com for more information.
I know, I know - you are wondering how we get manage to get chocolates into a
seaweed newsletter but the brothers behind the idea are good friends of ours
and we think it's a cracking idea and the chocolates are gorgeous! ;-)
For more info on the launch, please check out www.belfastcity.gov.uk/news/news.asp?id=884
