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.......

I'll have to give a mention to another pastry favourite of mine, Banbury Cakes which you can also buy on line. We used to buy them in Banbury itself but the bakery has moved to Chipping Norton. smile

Saw in the papers that imported beef mince would have a tariff of 40%. Why on earth do we need to import mince when we have ample supplies here in the UK. Better quality and welfare standards. Lets get back to seasonality.

I feel the same way about root vegetables. Bought a Cabbage the other day. Only ones in stock were from Spain! For goodness sake what happened to our vegetable growing? I know we have problems from time to time with weather but Europe has similar problems.

Why fly NZ lamb all the way across the globe? Last time I looked out of the window here in Wales there was a sheep gazing back at me. She has lots of friends.😁

Most of the people who pick fruit & veg have gone home leaving stuff to rot in the fields......just another consequence of the thing we dare not mention on here. Expect crops that are largely harvested by mechanical means in the future.

11000 or more miles by ship is a fair old food distance. wink

I step out of my back door and pick my own veg...complete with eco friendly residents who live in the leaves. πŸ›

That's an interesting one, 'traditional' but it does contains ingredients from far flung comers of the World like Tamarind. Also, similar umami sauces/relishes exist abroad which do not contain anchovies and taste very similar.
