Funnybones’ Single Portions Make Introducing Caribbean Food Easy and Waste-Free

Funnybones’ is making it easier than ever for operators to introduce authentic Caribbean food to their venues, without worrying about waste, thanks to the new Caribbean Irie Eats range of individual portions

Delivered frozen in packs of 6, and wrapped in ecofriendly, heat stable packaging, operators can be confident the range is good for business, and good for the planet. Marja Lawrence, Commercial Manager Foodservice and Export at Funnybones, is excited about what the individual portions could mean for pubs, cafes, and restaurants;

“We’re absolutely delighted to be able to offer our popular range of Irie Eats meals as individual portions. We know from our customers that having our deliciously authentic Caribbean food available as single portions makes it much easier for operators to confidently add them to their menu, secure in the knowledge they’re easy to stock, so they’ll be able to meet demand, without worrying about unnecessary food waste.”

The convenient portions are available in five sensational choices, each bursting with flavour. Vegan-friendly Callaloo Stew; a dark, leafy, kale-like veg, mixed with tomatoes, peppers, onions, and coconut milk for a hearty, creamy, feel-good stew. Sweet, spicy, and sticky Rice ‘n’ Peas – a classic combination of red kidney beans, rice, and coconut milk, with thyme, and aromatic spices, served with almost every Caribbean meal. Curried Mutton, combining lean, diced, mutton with potatoes and carrots in a medium spiced sauce. And finally, traditional Jerk comprised of scotch bonnet, pimento and traditional herbs and spices, available with delicious Chicken or juicy Pork. Easily Britain’s favourite Caribbean flavour, both Jerk Chicken and Jerk Pork are classed as a medium heat, and leave a tingling more-ish impression that’ll have customers eager to return for more.

Once defrosted, the meals can be kept chilled for up to five days. Operators interested in creating larger batches of mouth-watering Caribbean, Mexican, or Americana dishes can utilise Funnybones’ wide range of sauces, rubs, and marinades to create the perfect dish to suit their menu.

Specialists in authentic, premium quality German sausages, The Sausage Man, offers five bestselling sausages from its extensive range to kick off the Sausage2Go launch; choose from delicious Bratwurst, Bacon Krakauer, Cheese Frankfurters, Chilli Beef or Vegan Hot Dogs to entice custom.

All sausages are fully cooked, ready to eat and reheat, and are supplied chilled or frozen, benefiting from a long shelf life. The sausages are offered for sale accompanied by high quality brioche baguettes from bakery brand St Pierre.

The Sausage2Go unit, made by Flexeserve, the specialists in hot-holding, flexible merchandising solutions, facilitates the latest ground-breaking, patented air recirculation technology, retaining heat without over-cooking for perfect food condition, superior flavour and texture, and no moisture loss throughout the day.

Sausage2Go couldn’t be easier to use; no catering experience is required, and user-friendly control panels set over individual zones can be independently used to allow greater energy efficiency. Unit sizes range from countertop to freestanding with front and rear loading options, tailored to individual needs. Branding and packaging featuring The Sausage Man’s eye-catching visuals will also be available to further enhance the offer.

For operators, the unit couldn’t be simpler to use and is especially useful for quick serve situations; on using the Sausage2Go unit at Ashton Gate Stadium Bristol, Dave Gorwill, Concessions Manager was impressed by its efficiency and by the popularity of The Sausage Man’s product; “When we launched the 150g Porky Hot Dogs from The Sausage Man, we were surprised how quickly they sold - we had to cook more before kick-off! We restocked again for the break and the fans seemed to love the sausages so much that this will become one of our biggest selling food items.”
