stoobie Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I dont eat meat but it certainly made my other half think about the chicken he eats - but at the end of the day - a family on low income is always going to buy the £2.80 chicken rather than the more expensive option. I made myself watch the pig slaughter - I was shocked at the speed of the killing - makes you wonder how many they get through a day to be that efficient and skilled about it! I also kept my eyes open for any elderberry flowers this morning when out running! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 the pig slaughtering was much less distressing than I expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 oh the tomatoes are all funny shapes & colours but taste amazing That's because countries like France and Italy help pass the EU rules on conformity of fruit and veg and then proceed to ignore them The UK of course enforce them and we end up with straight cucumbers and bananas and apples which all look the same. This is about to be dropped shortly - because it is causing so much food waste....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
