Buzzer, I guess it varies around the country and access to local produce.We are lucky in Penzance as we have an excellent Greengrocer come deli.
It’s a common sight to see a farmer turn up in an old Land Rover (if the 4x4 Jag/Porsche/Merc is off the road) and unload Cauliflowers, Potatoes, Greens, Carrots etc. straight from the farm. And a fresh Cauli is so much better than one that has been shipped halfway round the UK or EE.Also, the butcher sells locally bred meat, we catch our own fish and the beekeepers keep us stocked with honey, bread has changed a bit as the older bakers have switched to just Pastys and Sandwiches whilst a new breed of Artisan bakers have set up shop serving excellent bread but at up to £4.50 a loaf!!
I guess the more urban people are, the less access they have to farm/sea fresh food.
EDIT: Not too long to wait until we get the Cornish Earlies in, Some Potatoes they are !!
Already had Jersey new spuds this week but not the same as they used to be, cant wait for the Cornish to start as they are street’s ahead
