I really enjoyed my attendance (for the first time) at the Blas awards last night in Dingle.

While I was live tweeting on the night and so making the winners available as they happened there is a full and accurate list up on the Blas website here.

For the fun of it I took the text from that page, stripped out repeated phrases like Gold, Silver etc and ran it through Wordle. This is what it produced:

Conclusions from that (with the most frequently used words in largest font sizes):

* Chocolate and Bacon are two favorites in Ireland and we like our food Smoked.

* Aldi dominated these awards from the multiples perspective with Supervalu coming in second.

If you click on the image it will bring you through to a larger version on the Wordle site.
