Prompted by another thread, how about listing any food and drinks products that are still made in this country, and not part of a huge Multi national company?

Here’s something very local to us.......

AD, we eat a lot of fish and seafood, and I agree, Brits can be very conservative in their food choices.

PD, we are surrounded by micro breweries here, we have used CLs that have micro breweries on site as well. There’s the one up at Cropton, but we stayed on another near Lichfield a few years ago. Bought beer on the site👍

I was going to add Seabrooks Crisps. Still made in Bradford, but they sold their soul to the Japanese in 2018........ 

Edit.....the micro brewery is  https://blythebrewery.co.uk/ based at Blythe House Farm CL, highly recommended site to stay👍

One of our largest food imports from the EU is pork and pork products.  If we were to buy more UK produced pork our farmers may well be thankful but currently there is not sufficient produced here to fill all of our demands.  Many things will need to change and change takes time.

There is also the fact that there is a ready and established market overseas for such things.

These are my favorite and they have trouble selling them even in Portugal. At Morrisons the lady on the fish counter called them "butcher cut" meaning the staff get to take them when the conservative customers wont.

Gurnards are used to bait and attract shell fish like lobsters and crabs in the uk, they are very spiny but it's good not to waste them!
