Britains Really Disgusting Foods BBC 3

I watched Alex Riley on BBC 3 last night and his very good programme on the food industry. See http://www.bbc.co.uk/mischief/hot_topics/food.shtml It was fascinating stuff, shows what the food industry really gets up to with our produce. Can we get him on here Isabel?

Hail

Part of the joys of farming in the north are the long days we get here, sunrise is at 4AM and sunset after 10PM. It give us a chance to relax outside when when the weather is good and work in the office when it is not. I have been pondering the direction our business should take after a conversation...

Rome FAO meeting

I have watched the coverage of this with horror, not because of Mugabe and Ahmadinejads antics but because of the ignorance of the so called journalists reporting it. The response of the NGOs was also given huge prominence, they are still fighting the battles of the past. All they want to do is blame...

Re: Odd things to eat

Fascinating stuff. I've just looked up the way the book recommends cooking a heron. It says: "A heron, if plain boiled for about eight hours, becomes tender enough to afford a meal to a hungry person, and its flavour is only very slightly fishy. It should be served with a thick white sauce flavoured...
