In the same way the a triple cheese with mayo > instead of butter is also wrong. I reckon they use it because it stops the bread going either soggy or stale and since the Mayo they use is full of preservatives it means they can leave the sandwich on the shelf for a few days more. Fortunately the bread shop round the corner from where I work most weeks knocks up fresh sandwiches to order. Worlds apart from anything sold in a garage.

They do, or at least they were doing last time I was up there about a month ago. Very good sandwiches, at that using ingredients taken from the shop. We're still hoping that they will decide to stock our stuff, but they have limited shelf space and I gather that some of the local councillors are hostile to the shop and constantly carp if they buy in stock from elsewhere. The LA view is that a farm shop should only sell food grown on that farm. As far as I'm concerned a farm shop should sell mostly food from that farm (it is in the farmer's best interests) and they should also sell good food that they have selected themselves, as BHFS does.

Most of them taste of vomit. THey're mostly made by a company called Greencore by armies of Poles. Greencore also makes sauces such as Ragoo. Having delivered there, I'd like to say that I'd not want to eat what they make. -- Conor Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak......... |
