Yvonne and I went out for our lunch to the Amarillo at Falkirk Stadium. We were the only two people in the whole time. The food was nice- but the choice that was closest to my diet still involved Peppers and some other unseasonal "seasonal leaves". I think you often find that although places will say they would use locally sourced ingredients they probably don't do it most of the time. If they did I would want to see evidence of it. I also went for a sweet. It was nice again probably technically able to be produced with UK ingredients. But I'm paying the forfeit anyway. just to be on the safe side:
Forfeit: £9.95- two course lunch at Amarrillo.
...because lentils don't grow in the UK. The Idea is that for the season of Lent- the next 40 days- I will try and just eat and drink things that come from the UK. Not just processed here but grown here. So this blog will say what I am eating and log my trials and tribulations. If I eat/drink something from outwith the UK I will commit to giving £1 a time to one of the charities I support.

The Reasons...
1. Its Lent and its traditional to give up something.
2. Too much of our food travels too far. It might be most people's biggest contributor to their carbon footprint.
3. Think Global- Eat local.
