<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ownedbybear, post: 396159, member: 29&quot;]I love the thing of proper shopping. Not grabbing a pre pack of stuff and buying and running, but the true appreciation of food and produce, The dialogue with someone who perhaps has sourced something and knows whence it came. The true butcher: none of your vacuum pack or mass produced, but asking the proprietor what is best and seasonal. People who actually know their specialism, rather than some poor soul on minimum wage who would not know the difference between a lambs liver and a pigs kidney if it whacked them in the face. That joy of the first May asparagus and Jersey Royal potatoes, not some import or forced nonsense. </p><p><br /></p><p>We live in a world that is oftimes far too hasty and based on sheer convenience, not the savouring of seasonality and taste. Hence, fruit and vegetables that look like wax models and taste of nothing, with no nutritional value. And meat that is bright red, not hung properly, but artificially aged with antibiotics and water and nitrites. The abomination that is chlorine washed chicken , produced with huge cruelty. </p><p><br /></p><p>Food ought not to be about what you can grab in a supermarket sweep, but about knowing what is real and fresh and proper. If all that is done is gobbling for the sake of satiation, it explains why the West is so damnably obese.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
