Do you eat British?

<< < (4/5) > >>

att:
The best and safest producers of food are the French.
They mostly adhere to the rules of food manufacturing and are streets ahead of us in most aspects of food.

French is the best......You can keep your old British stuff, unfortunately :(

Thrasher:
Just remember - in France for example, you can buy the meat alive...be it seafood, chickens or rabbits.....(example).

Can't get fresher than still alive ;-)

V8MoneyPit:
We buy some from the supermarket, when it is more convenient. It is fair to say we don't check it's origins (although it seems this is totally irrelevant anyway!). But we very often buy meat locally. Either from the local farm or butcher. The local butcher is cheaper than the supermarket anyway.

Our eggs come from round the corner. I have complete confidence they are fresh every morning. And our chickens can be chosen while they are still running around!

We pre-book our beef and pork which is supplied once the animal is slaughtered.

I think it is a common mistake to assume smaller suppliers are going to be expensive. It is more often than not that they are cheaper anyway.

I find its better when fresh, our local farmer always gives much more than i pay for. Supermarket stock is usually a week or more old.
Plus i know who the money is going to :wink: .
