This blog was originally about my attempt to live for a whole year, from August 2007 to August 2008, eating only food that had been produced in Britain. My aims in this were to see if it was actually possible and to try to promote British food. Well, I survived the year without too much difficulty! So I have decided to continue the blog, this time looking at all that can be produced in Britain and how British ingredients can be used to create some fantastic dishes.

Royal botanic gardens
I had my lunch at the Botanic Gardens today. There is a nice cafe there, where I have had tea and cake on many an occasion. I was pleased to notice today though, that there was sign advertising that they do their best to local, seasonal produce in their cooking, which is great! I had braised beef, which came with dumplings, potatoes, carrots and green beans and it was really tasty. I do wonder how much of it was locally produced, it was very busy so I decided not to ask them. But, it's good to see that they are at least supporting local producers on paper.

Not really a comment on the article, more a comment on the tag status. I note with interest that the only topics with more the 2 tags are cheese and wine :-)
