Most surprising find of the day: my favourite English Breakfast style tea is "produced" in Canada! I did a spot of unconvinced guugling, thinking that they probably imported it from one of the usual tea-growing countries then sorted their imports into varieties and packaged it for sale.
But it seems there exists a tea growing farm on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. Mind blown ? ?
Quick rake through food cupboards (not complete). I have foods from nineteen different countries: Tunisia China USA Bulgaria Egypt India France Greece Poland Iran Sri Lanka Uzbekistan Peru Australia (wine) Italy Turkey Pakistan Spain Portugal
Just got a delivery from a wholefoods online set up of Black Beans (China), Black Beluga lentils (USA), dried dates (Tunisia), and ground coriander (Bulgaria). Our local shops don't have these things.
Do you know, I think I'm going to start a list of the places the food we buy comes from, just out of interest. Anyone else want to join in?
