Food ingredient origins.
« on: 27 June 2009, 17:31:14 »
Just cooked a Lamb & spinach curry..(Saag Gosht on your indian menu). Served with mushroom rice.
   I'm in England cooking Indian food so the irony is:-

         Lamb:- New Zealand.
         Coriander:- Portugal.
         Mushrooms:- Ireland.
         Red chillies:- Egypt.
         Green chillies:-Zambia.
       & Spinach:- Belgium.
 Onions & tomatoes were bought loose so who knows? ::)

We are preparing our evening meal. As usual it comprises of stuff grown or produced in Spain. It is very, very hard to find stuff here grown, reared or produced in another country. If it is then it is probably from a South American Spanish speaking country.

I think it is a sad indictment of the British mentality to have everything from anywhere in the world at any month of the year. Probably at the expense of British farmers too. We were only talking the other day about plums from the Vale of Evesham.

Got to go my Pork and Cold beer awaits me!
