Climate scientists concerned by product launch.

Research into the role of Methane in the global warming scenario, suggests that most methane comes from agricultural emissions. Should this product gain popularity scientists are concerned that human emissions of methane, added to the already high levels resulting from agricultural sources, could further increase global warming.

The UK National Health Service has a battle on its hands

Number 1  of their 8 tips for Healthy Eating says,

"The key to a healthy diet is to eat the right amount of calories for how active you are

so you balance the energy you consume with the energy you use."

Welcome to Pie World

A very popular stall at the recent Flavour Fest in the city.

The "Sugar War" ramps up as each day passes.

 Although on the retreat on many fronts, 

these warriors were out and proud at this weekend's "Flavour Fest" in the city.

Man cannot live by bread alone.

Probably the best breakfast venue

within a 20 mile radius of the City Centre.

The lunch Counter

This artisan bakery counter is in the recently created studio and gallery complex

 in the Royal William Yard.

Cornish Pasties

Cornwall's gift to the world of fine dining.

Check out the Heritage of the Cornish Pasty 

It was said that The Devil would never dare to cross the River Tamar into Cornwall for fear of ending up as a filling in a Cornish Pasty.

Judging from this list of fillings his decision was probably correct.

Some things don't change. Thank goodness.

This is the shop window of my favourite baker and confectioner,

in Newquay on the Atlantic coast of Cornwall.

I took the top photo a week ago,

I posted  the bottom shot here in September 2012.

The only real change over those years has been a small increase in the prices.

Some things stand the test of time.

If a good breakfast is so important,

then breakfast in the sun by the sea 

is the best way to start the day.

The Alchemist

Last weekend sales stalls and live cooking demonstrations took over the Piazza in the City Centre

when the annual Flavour Fest took place.

I was particularly attracted to this wonderful stall.

Opening Soon

The sooner the better for me.

The weather may be windy and wet,

but in Padstow you're never far from a hot and tasty Cornish Pasty.

An interesting addition to the menu?

I was intrigued by the chalk board outside this restaurant.
Did they mean LUNCH
or is a new dining experience?

In these troubled times ....

 

... it is important to be near a reliable food source.

 

Virtually every aspect of the Cornish Pasty is a source of argument.

Where did the pasty originate?

What are the authentic ingredients?

What is the correct way to "crimp" a pasty?

Can you call a pasty made outside Cornwall a Cornish Pasty?

And so on and on.

This shop is in Plymouth, which is in county of Devon.

Hard work.

As supermarket customers we sometimes forget,

that one of the ingredients that helps our food to grow is the sweat of the workers in the fields.

Symbiosis?

 "Celebrity Chefs" endlessly praise the virtues of "locally sourced" ingredients.

I wonder how symbiotic the relationship between these two businesses is?
