On locavorousness

[gominokouhai]

Apparently it's Scottish Food Fortnight. Nobody told me this, but I live in Scotland and I eat food, so every fortnight is Scottish Food Fortnight as far as I'm concerned. The BBC is putting some journalists on a week-long local diet to celebrate, and apparently the Scottish Government is doing likewise.

Regular readers may recall that I've attempted something similar to this before. And now the Scottish Government is copying me. The very concept of our legislators on a week-long blood-sugar crash fills me with dread. I suppose it's just lucky we don't have the power to declare war.

(The nice journalist informs me that it's not a very strict local diet, intended more as a showcase of excellent Scottish produce. That's all right then.)

Here's the journalists' first day, and here, for comparison, is mine.

With any luck, and focus-group permitting, Kamikaze Cookery should be out in about a month. I would just like to make sure everyone is aware that, despite the BBC's vast resources, we did it first.
