Though young, Somerset's very first whisky is (already) tasting mighty interesting.

Why would any good, self-respecting food producer want to sell their wares at a supermarket, and therefore part of a system generally out to exploit producers and devalue the food they make?

@jayrayner1 How much were they offering?

In the interests of cornetto - based rigour, I am examining the size of the chocolate plug at the base of each. Because this is the best bit, no? A sort of glorious crescendo finale to the whole affair. For Mrs Clay’s guide, in @TelegraphFood soon.

13 food item prices Italian supermarket vs UK supermarket
🇮🇹 cheapest for apples, oranges, eggs (free range or organic), tomatoes and greek yoghurt.
🇬🇧 cheapest for cornflakes, pringles, Kinder Bueno, KitKat, ready-made sandwiches, microwave meal, milk and bananas

[Hugh Thomas @hughwrites]

Based on old (but most recent!?) data, if the chocolate digestive is your favourite biscuit, then – so sorry – you are statistically most likely to be a Tory 🍪

who's going BCBF tomorrow then?

If I could give you one piece of advice on injecting more personality into your writing, it’s this:

Don’t be afraid to be weird.

Weird is exceptional.
Weird is interesting.
Weird is novel.

And? Weird isn’t really weird, to the ones who get it.

@rachelfran4340 @suepalmer23 Thank you Sue, thank you Rachel!

[rachel francis @rachelfran4340]

My friend @suepalmer23 gave me one month free reading of the entire Wallfish Journal. Totally my cup of tea. Thank you Sue.
I think this piece is free ... if anybody is out there, I recommend. Seeing as I have zero followers now, due to x glitch, probably not. Hello?

The Somerset Levels are one of the county's biggest (albeit pretty artificial) marvels. But they could soon all but disappear. Full story, ft @SomersetRLM, @mtemperley, @SRAnews, @SomersetWT: https://t.co/oAopq1QYeV

Read an exclusive extract from my #WildBoar book 'Groundbreakers' (published tomorrow) in @inkcapjournal today!
Editor @some_yeo is v. modest in saying Inkcap had a "small role" in the book being born - it wouldn't have happened without her & the journal!

Hear from @hughwrites, #FromeFoodNetwork, and Caroline Wajsblum, @fromefield2fork on how their vision for a community kitchen could benefit our #community from #sustainability, giving new opportunities to local businesses and feeding our town.
