Adventures in Food

And while exploring the British Sugar site I found this little-known fact : British Sugar is the UK's largest grower of classic round salad tomatoes. The glasshouse at Cornerways Nursery covers an area of 5 hectares and produces over 34 million tomatoes each year between April and November. Apparently 83% of UK tomatoes are imported. Is that sustainable?

I just got these great links from Dad: In an idle moment this evening I found British Sugar's website - Bury St Edmunds seems to be the nearest location for your sugar - I found this on the web: http://www.britishsugar.co.uk /RVE4056ad1977cd45c98eac02fd79 2bdf35,,.aspx And you can get salt from Essex - http://www.maldonsalt.co.uk /contactus/ Isn't google great! Thanks Dad x s

Ever since I agreed to do this 100-mile diet, people I know have wanted to discuss it. Many want to challenge the environmental or social/ethical credentials of it - assuming we are doing it for those reasons in the first place - or they want to tell us where to get fresh fish, or salt. So if you have something to say about it - please put it here! Use the 'comments' link. That way you can see if your question has already been answered, argue with someone about the niceties of importing spices from poor countries, or share a link so that anyone who wants to get English salt can do so easily. x s
