100% horsemeat - that's why we should shop local Post Reply

Here is a new discovery to share...a small family-run Chocolate and Coffee Cafe. They really know their stuff and they have delicious baked goodies as well. They are near Wimbledon Park.

Hi everyone. I just wanted to post a recommendation for a new fruit and veg delivery service called Grocer Jack (http://www.grocerjacks.com). I just received my box and was amazed at the quality of the produce inside - it really is restaurant quality produce at very affordable prices. Really worth giving them a try.

With the horrid stories about supermarket meat lasange containing 100% horsemeat

It made me remember why I try to buy so much from local shops.

I don't buy enough locally so I thought I would mention the shops that I want to use more

Cleavers or Moens for meat, I bet there is no horse in their pies!
Moxons for fish, gorgeous but expensive

Who else can add to the list?

Where should I buy fruit and vegetables?

What about bread?

Chadwicks Butchers in Balham

[nvmof3]

Dandelion on Northcote Road for Fruit and Veg, or get a weekly Riverford delivery.

[NorthcoteLuvvie]

Carluccios on Garrett Lane or the Bread Stall on Northcote Rd for bread

If you don't always have time to cook from the beginning if you know what I mean, what brands can be trusted for a quick meal.

Cook ready meals are as good as homemade ones. They have a shop on abbeville road: http://www.cookfood.net/shops/clapham
you can also buy them from "As Nature Intended" in Balham. Not cheap, but absolutely delicious.

Barmouth Kitchen also sell "cook" meals

I guess just cook from scratch!

Well, if people choose to eat cheap microwavable lasagne, they should probably be pleased to get any meat at all!

Cook in batches & freeze. I do this once a week or fortnight & it's great. I wonder what will come out next?

MungoMuffit, how long have you been a veggie for?

I do think about it but I love bacon too much.

Seriously, is it hard?
