Picking up the English country blues

Article Abstract:

Market gardener David Trehane introduced Canadian blueberries to his heathland of acid soil in Dorset in 1957. Blueberries are different from sloes and bilberries. The cultivated Dorset blue variety is larger, sweeter and firmer than wild berries. They keep for over a week in a fridge. Annual production is 25-35 tons and hand-picked Dorset blues are preferred to Dutch and French imports. Blueberries are full of vitamins A and C and can be produced organically as they do not suffer from diseases or pests.

The new merchants of venison

Article Abstract:

Venison is a healthy meat, low in fat and high in protein. Wild red deer, which threaten the Scottish environment as numbers have doubled between 1953 and 1993, provide 20% edible meat. The rest is too old and tough or diseased. Safeway will sell haunch meat for joints and steaks, and pies and pates made with shoulder and neck meat. Farmed venison comprises under 1% of the meat market. Safeway will offer mild venison as it tastes similar to beef.

Time to launch the campaign for real chocolate

Article Abstract:

French people spend a lot on dark chocolate Easter eggs and animals of good quality with little packaging. The dark chocolate is made froma couverture comprising 70% cocoa solids, hardly any sugar and no additives or vegetable fat. English Easter eggs have a stale, cardboardy flavour and fancy packaging. Milk chocolate should contain 35-44% cocoa solids. The British should adjust their palates and demand better quality.
