We buy much less meat these days but better organic meat. Our organic butcher is much cheaper than the supermarket for the cheaper cuts as most of his clientele don't know how to use them.

But i am horrified by children not knowing about where their food comes from and how it gets from field to plate. i do think cookery should be a complusary subject in school as my mother has always said "you reep what you sow" and after years of no food education in schools we have now suffering with many obese children and adults alike because they haven't a clue on how to cook and think that ready meals are the only way to eat !!

It's fun to know that I have readers dotted all over the world! Finally I think people are waking up about factory farming and the sublime taste of happy meat. I wish I had the neck to keep a couple of goats or pigs but when the time came to slaughter them I'd find that very hard as they would be friends. The move from London to Croatia must have been amazing. When I lived in London I met Croatians who had moved to London but never the reverse. I'd love to hear more about life out there. Hello Bib
