Today has been an informative day, BBC Radio 4's Food Programme was all about curing your own meat. Very interesting and something which I would love to give a go! Watch this space! Additionally I went to a farmers market stall on campus to buy some veggies and scope it out for my coming challenge. It looks to be an excellent place for me to source my food. However I have already hit a problem with my rules, a lot of the food there was grown un organically. I have a dilemma, is it ok to eat none organic food if it is very local?
However a plus point, I may have sourced local free-range eggs and a local veg box service. Fingers crossed they will cater to a single student or else I might be forced to share.
UGH! I just typed up a big long comment and it deleted it all. Instead of re-typing it I'm just going to summarise:
ReplyDelete-Try butter beans in your bake, they're nice
-Have you considered buying dried beans and soaking them? Probably better for the environment but more work.
-Try Quinoa or Couscous. They're just grains a bit like rice and you can flavour them with herbs and/or vegetables. Can be a side or a full meal. Not sure if you can get any grown in the UK though.
I like butter beans, I will try them. I already use dried beans, they are nicer and not too much more hard work, you jsut have to remember to put them out to soak the night before. I also really like couscous, never heard of quinoa but I will look it up and see if I can get some that is made here.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice!
Hey, I have been looking ut Ican't find any organic beans, cous cous or quinoa. It's a shame really.
