I wonder if anyone else saw the brilliant 'High Street Dreams' last night on BBC one? A fantastic display of hard work, determination and a dedication to sourcing excellent produce. I have to admit that having the opportunity to enjoy such success would be a wonderful one for me and would certainly fulfil my foodie dreams.
'Muddy Boots' mirrored the feelings that I constantly express at home to my partner that unless we source local produce and handle it ourselves then how do we really know where our food comes from? This got me thinking about whether anyone really knows where all their food comes from.
Yes, we might buy organic and we may trawl the local farmers markets finding fresh free range meat but what about the odd bagel and cream cheese you consume with your hot, steaming and expensive latte? I know I'm guilty of forgetting the bits and pieces I wedge into my daily eats and whilst I avidly buy local and always check my labels for the Great British sign, I slip up sometimes.
So i'm launching my own campaign to attempt to know where every morsal of food comes from that goes in my mouth!
And it starts now.
