Sounds great Lizzie...no mash?

Oh yes, I forgot about the potatoes

Usually I would do mash Amigo, but instead I cooked lovely Jersey Royal 'new' potatoes 8-) 8-)

Oh yeah! Jersey royals par boiled, let 'em cool then shallow fry in olive oil & butter, mixed herbs, garlic & seasoning. Turn heat off & grate mature cheddar over, stir in & serve.
   Indulgent & calorific? Yes but mmmmmmm!!!!

If you visit Tesco, they are selling strawberries from Spain.

Today, I picked four punnets only five miles away from the store.

Support the local producer I say 

[gsdtrainer]

all our food is grown locally.theres a little place 2 miles away called asda and they grow it on their shelves

[Vamps]

Lettuce from the garden. Local tomatos, local spring onions rest from as local as possible

I had mine 'delivered' today..........From Tesco but still  ended up in Morrisons for some bits....

Yet another good reason not to shop in one of those stores!

We have the best animal welfare in the world. If you buy cheap bacon and chicken from supermarkets you are contributing not only to the decline of the British farming industry, but also the suffering of animals in farms that are VERY loosely regulated compared to ours.

Don't buy much meat from supermarkets, use local place that slaughter and retail local meat.  If I do buy in supermarket I look for British. But, like many of us, at the end of the day I am on a budget and have a family to feed and house........

And the highest rate of Animal cruelty :-/

We buy everything local, there's an M & S food store within a mile

[amigov6]

We have an independant farmshop on the outkirts of Immingham. The veggies are locally grown (Lincolnshire), cheap & taste good. They sell homemade chutneys & pickled stuff, the most beautiful duck eggs, bread rolls & allsorts.
   Sadly the fact remains if you have an adventurous palate there are some things you need which simply aren't grown here.

Not sure I agree with Britain having the worst animal cruelty. The Spanish treat their animals badly. I think it maybe something to do with animals not having souls in the RC world but don't know. It is only in recent years that the Spanish have been made to stop throwing live donkeys off towers each year!

We have seen loads of captive wild red legged partridge in open cages tethered by brass wires through their breast bone.

They love puppies but as soon as they reach maturity they get booted out and fed at best on a stale bit of bread each day. At worst they get abandoned a distance from home and if lucky become semi feral.

I have a photo of two large pigs that live under a fig tree tethered by a short length of chain through the nose and no access to water, presumably they would knock it over.

If it was England someone would complain to the RSPCA.

One of the many corrupt mayors on the Costa Del Sol accepted over 100 prize horses as bribes/gifts. When they were visited by some welfare dept a quarter had to be put down immediately and more later in the week as they were in such a bad neglected condition.

I was deeply shocked to find out recently that in some places Britain keeps intensive cows in sheds for milk rather than let them graze free!  I would expect that here where there is little grass.
