So, welcome to the launch of my new blog section, dedicated to trying to buy and consume only UK-sourced food and drink.
This is not a Brexit thing, it’s an attempt to try and reduce my food miles and hopefully to live more seasonally.
It takes a bit of work to check the source of your food, and it’s interesting to discover how many things which you assume would be available in the UK are imported. This is particularly the case with supermarket food, which is mostly down to economics and the challenge of having to find things in sufficiently large quantities.
There are obviously some foods we’ll have to do without ( for example Olive Oil ), but I’ll try and find alternatives. Rice is another. There could be some challenging times ahead.
