I was impressed on my last shopping trip to see that Waitrose have expanded their range of 'South of England' regional produce! Vegetables on sale included peas, broccoli, dwarf beans, courgettes, two varieties of potato, runner beans and spinach. This is great to see and even better to eat! It gives a real feel for when certain vegetables come into season, which is nice and helps to create a more varied diet in my opinion.
I also came across this article on the Guardian website the other day, which claims that for the first time ever, British grown mange tout will be available, although I think it will only be in Marks and Spencer. I haven't had a chance to check it out yet, but I will as soon as I can!

It really does seem as if demand for British produce is increasing.
