Doing my tea last night and looking through the freezers.
Came across a packet of Southern Fried Chicken goujons…. Lovely.
Reading the cooking instructions, I noticed it was a product of Thailand….

….why are we importing frozen food from Thailand?
I have no idea what their animal welfare standards are or their health and safety regime in production…so I binned the lot…and this was from a national supermarket chain.

Been to Lidl this morning and they had end display of Cherries @ £1.29. Bought 2 packs and when got home noticed they originated from CHILE. When were they picked? Before Christmas I reckon.

We have been spoilt by everything being available all year round. If you want cherries in January they have to be imported. I wish we could go back to eating produce in season and importing the minimum.

I have lived most of the last 10 years in Thailand, I eat chicken, pork and fish etc and never had a health problem as yet.i would think any U.K. supermarket would have inspectors, they wouldn’t want any claims from customers who got food poisoning.

Don’t worry Snowy Brexit has it sorted, copied and pasted from Sky News, you even have to have an export health certificate for cut flowers, any one ever had health problems with cut flowers ?.

Under the new Brexit red tape, imports of chilled and frozen meat and fish, cheese and dairy products, and five common varieties of cut flowers will require an export health certificate, signed off by a European vet or plant inspector, before they can enter the UK.

From 30 April the same categories of goods will face physical inspections at the border, raising the prospect of delays and shortages in fast turnaround supply chains.

Estimates say the cost of trading with Europe will increase by £330m a year however, and increase food inflation, a key driver of the cost of living crisis, by 0.2% over the next three years.

No just ante brexit, I am still waiting to find out the benefits after all these years, you’ll b pleased to know Snowy the U.K. could be getting chlorinated chicken from Canada and the States.
BTW you will still get your European stuff but at an increased cost because of all checks. Hormone imported beef could be coming to the U.K. after all the ‘great’ deals the government have done with Australia where it’s allowed, currently banned in the EU.

What’s Brexit got to do with Thai chicken, you could bring the EU into a discussion on DIY home taxidermy and quote the relevant rules from Brussels, who cares, I didn’t vote for it but this morbid obsession with refusing to accept it is beyond a joke.
As for my food from Europe, if it gets too dear, simple, I don't buy it, it’s called the market, there’s a world of alternatives.

Snowy you have no grasp of the consequences of the U.K. leaving the EU, it might not affect you because you are retired but it will affect the younger generation. Example a friend wanted to open a business in Tenerife, previously it would have been cash paid open up. It took over 6 months with several visits to the Spanish Embassy In Edinburgh to sort the visas, permits etc and several thousand pounds.

Jamie you have chosen not to live under the regime that is the EU yourself, so it is a bit rich to criticise other people for not wanting to be in it either. You have rejected both the EU and the UK to live in Thailand.

I dont live permanently in Thailand I am a U.K. tax paying Brit all my funds are in the U.K. and up until recently I had a property which I have since sold recently due to the ongoing Service Charges. I therefore feel I am in a position to comment on the events in the U.K. and Europe. I believe we have an aging group on the Bunker, leaving the EU won’t affect them directly but they will soon start to complain when there is a shortage of fresh produce. The U.K. can’t produce fresh produce all year round we never used to and managed to get by, so now the U.K. has become reliant on fresh produce year round. Due to the new regulations that food produce including cut flowers have to be inspected before coming to the U.K. this will result in increased costs and shortages.

Snowy you have no grasp of the consequences of the U.K. leaving the EU, it might not affect you because you are retired but it will affect the younger generation. Example a friend wanted to open a business in Tenerife, previously it would have been cash paid open up. It took over 6 months with several visits to the Spanish Embassy In Edinburgh to sort the visas, permits etc and several thousand pounds.

Never, ever tell me I have no grasp of consequences of anything.
I do not come here on a daily basis to be ‘educated’ on the orgasmic joys of the EU, it’s tedious and repetitive and I do not consider or treat the EU like a religion….they ‘re just yet more grubby politicians, not prophets of Nirvana.
As for people wanting the opportunity to open businesses in Europe I care not a jot, my heart does not bleed for them or a single worry crease my brow…I just don’t care.

I smell hypocrisy, old chum.

I dont live permanently in Thailand I am a U.K. tax paying Brit all my funds are in the U.K. and up until recently I had a property which I have since sold recently due to the ongoing Service Charges. I therefore feel I am in a position to comment on the events in the U.K. and Europe. I believe we have an aging group on the Bunker, leaving the EU won’t affect them directly but they will soon start to complain when there is a shortage of fresh produce. The U.K. can’t produce fresh produce all year round we never used to and managed to get by, so now the U.K. has become reliant on fresh produce year round. Due to the new regulations that food produce including cut flowers have to be inspected before coming to the U.K. this will result in increased costs and shortages.

Aw not more bleeding statistics…….. you have to be a plant.
You sound like a press release from …’Let’s all scare them back in Europe’ I mightn’t have voted for Brexit last time but I wil next time …Jeeeez banghead

There is a difference between commenting and preaching. As for age, it brings wisdom. You say it won't affect the aged directly but then go on to say they'll soon be complaining at the lack of fresh produce. Make your mind up. I have always found that if I am willing to buy there is always a seller. The word invented by my generation for scaremongering is bullshit. We'll be alright. Anyway I quite like tinned pears.

Exactly Mr Derwent, we didn’t exactly have it easy for most of our working lives either, so I ‘m not swallowing the nonsense about having it too hard nowadays, we had to make sacrifices financially to get things, we realised we couldn’t have everything at once, debt was hard to come by, now everyone wants everything NOW!

Aye,it's a shame you can't just go over and just hand over a bundle of cash.

I love a cuppa but when you look inside the tea pot and see the stain after brewing up, you wonder what the insides of your stomach look like?

Exactly…’NOT imported’….. so what is your point

The origin of the recipe is neither here nor there.

what about the vast majority of us who have not the money to buy a business anywhere or the ones that have no interest in working or living in the eu. think that will be the majority of us.

Where’s your food from…?
