@HaddingtonFM I'll be there on Saturday.

[Chris Young, Real Bread Campaign coordinator @RealBread]

None of these shops makes bread.
At most, the pictured outlets re-bake in loaf tanning salons. One 'bakery' doesn't event do that.
If you think that's misleading, please TAKE ACTION NOW>> https://t.co/P3aZUKxjWc

A friend who feels I don’t eat enough of the foods I criticise brought these round to have with a cuppa. She’d already eaten 3. She said, They don’t have any actual taste, they’re just sweet & soft. She’s right. 1st,2nd,4th ingredients are sugar (3rd water). No taste at all.

[Val Shields @TheFoodMarketer]

Brilliant idea changing the #wine menu every month. Good luck.

[Seafood From Scotland @SeafoodFromScot]

#Coley, also known as #saithe, is a good alternative to cod and haddock. 🐟 Similar in size range to cod, this fine-flavoured fish is abundant in all waters around #Scotland.

[Chris Young, Real Bread Campaign coordinator @RealBread]

Is traditional farmhouse bread:
A) Hand crafted in a farmhouse bakery using nothing but natural ingredients, knowledge, skill and time?
B) Banged out in an additive-laden, no-time process by an automated, computer-controlled industrial loaf fabrication plant?

Answer: Either

[Edinburgh Food Social @edinfoodsocial]

Asparagus grown on the other side of the world to satisfy an imposed consumer culture, produced at a cost to the people who grow it and their land. Wrapped in plastic, flown over 6000 miles to get here, and then written off as surplus. Enough with this car crash of a food system.

[Val Shields @TheFoodMarketer]

Really enjoyed it, thanks.

[Dan Saladino @DanSaladinoUK]

A hugely optimistic listen care of a man full of joy and imagination. Listen to @raymond_blanc on Sunday’s @BBCFoodProg talking with me about the importance of diversity & apples (his life story through 5 varieties) ‘I’m not asking you to plant a tree, I am begging you.’ he says.
