We’ve all heard the jokes, we’ve all seen the news reports. There is now nobody left on the planet that does not know that supermarkets have been caught with their trousers around their ankles. The supermarkets have been buying cheaper every year until the suppliers could no longer supply the required products at the price. Something had to give, so it is little surprise that horsemeat has appeared in processed food. There is only one way to guarantee quality and animal welfare standards: BUY LOCAL and BUY BRITISH…
Congratulations to the Chapman family on winning the East of England award and Good Luck in the National Finals. 

Our local butcher has won an award,
They’re an East Anglian Champion winner!
They know just where their beef comes from,
So you’ll know what you’ve got for your dinner!
They source their supplies with great care,
Finding such meat is an art,
It means that the shopper,
is fed good and proper,
And there is no sign of a cart!

However…
Go to the impersonal supermarket,
They buy the cheapest from abroad.
Your lasagne dinner,
A Romanian race-winner
Profit their only award!
