Birgufest

On Friday night Birgu welcomed the world's biggest risotto pan to serve a huge risotto in aid of Dar Tal-Providenza - a care home for disabled people.  
The pan was previously used in Manchester in 1998. The risotto took 20 chickens, 20kg of beef, luganiga sausages, 20kg of cheese, 300kg of rice, 60kg of vegetables and 120 litres of white wine. Nine chefs from the Institute of Tourism Studies stirred the risotto constantly with long wooden oars and were supervised by an Italian Head Chef who had worked with the pan at other events. Portions were sold for a very reasonable 3Euro each and by 10pm the pan was empty and our stomachs were full!
