Stuck for some gift ideas?
A book entitled ‘Seasonal Cookery and Cornish Recipes has been produced in aid of SEA funds. Copies cost £2.95 and will be available at the Town Christmas Light Event on 29 November. Bags will also be available on our stall – both items would make ideal Christmas gifts. |

Following the meeting last May we are looking at ways of buying locally produced food and goods. We are compiling a local food guide and looking into starting a Farmers' Market in Saltash. |

Maureen's wonderful looking Iced Carrot Cake generate a LOT of interest for the guess the number of food miles contest - over 100 entries so patience while we sort through to find the winner (the cake keeps well in an airtight tin ) To recap you were told that the main ingredients were flour, eggs, butter, sugar, orange, walnuts, sultanas, and of course carrots. And the answer is... 8,463 food miles ...a surprisingly large figure made up as follows: - Flour (from Hampshire) 160 miles
- Eggs - Landrake- 3 miles
- Carrots -Cornwall, 20 miles
- Sugar - Paraguay - 5,600 miles by sea
- Butter - Yeo Valley, Somerset - 80 miles
- Rind of Orange - Spain- 800 miles
- Walnuts - France - 300 miles
- Sultanas - Turkey - 1,500 miles
Many thanks to all those who took part and perhapsstarted to think a bit more about where our food comes from and why food prices are shooting up. Congratulations to our winner (to be announced here shortly) |
