Am I the only one who really doesn't care what brand it is as long as it doesn't have a long list of additives, colours and artificial whatnots included?!
I use which ever is the best quality for the money I'm paying. I've no brand loyalty really and would try any type of anything once, twice if I liked it and the price was right! ;)
Come on down, the price is right!Oh how I miss proper trash winner takes all type TV.
Quote by little gemI know what you mean Witchy. I changed alcohol type in the past to avoid coca cola and haven't eaten 'Nestle' products for years. I went on a campaign back in the day about what they were up to and now it has to be Green & Blacks chocolate, ethically and for taste. I really like the heavy taste of 34% cocoa, it is divine! Although, if it's not on offer, I will chop and change between a handful of the fair trade chocolates.
The other things I will NOT under any circumstances buy, is Danish bacon, even when it's on offer. Their living conditions as pigs are disgusting compared with free range English bacon who have lovely outdoor ranges and huts to live in with their tasty little piglets. I will also not compromise on dry cured bacon either or meat with added water. If the animal has had to die, at least make it taste as good as it damn well can rather than adding stuff to make it shrink when it cooks.What a waste.
I do tend to go to the local butcher and grocer when I can, due to work commitments, which is the only downside. We rather like the farm shop not very far away from us too, a luxury where you can visit your food before it gets to your plate. Lovely.Genuinely a joy!
I'm aiming to cut our vegetable purchasing by 25% this summer by setting up our veggie patch in our garden, now we have one and learning to pickle & preserve. I'm really quite excited and will be starting to propagate my seeds soon. Shhhh, don't tell Neil though, cos it's likely to take up some of his kitchen space! :lol:
