Finding local food is a full time occupation. At least it feels like it sometimes. Even when you find something, you often then find reasons why it cannot be eaten under the 100 mile
We discovered today that the sprouting beans we enjoyed eating, whilst sprouted in the UK, had actually been grown from foreign seed.
It is not easy to know where to draw the line on these issues. Clearly, every agricultural crop is going to be grown from seed, which is very unlikely to be local. On the other hand, sprouting seeds are, well, just seeds which have sprouted. We’re pretty much just eating seed.
Meanwhile, we’ve been struggling with the idiosyncrasies of our slow cooker. Slow cookers use considerably less energy than other forms of cooking and allow cooking smells to slowly permeate the house. Not so good when you are trying to sleep.
