Or rather very good food, is becoming  an  increasingly hard an exclusive  thing to find.

The large majority of people I meet her care about, where their food comes from, right down to the region and how it was made.

There is a huge respect  for the quality of the food and genuine pleasure in the consuming of that food.

In the UK we seem to have lost that skill and value from the fabric of our society. Our GDP may be higher, but we are defiantly not eating that well.
