The UK does not have a really great reputation for food, which is I think a pity. We have so many local farmer’s markets now that give you the opportunity to buy great local, fresh produce that will surprise you with the diversity available.
Not only will you get great fresh produce, you’ll also get a chance to try food from small local kitchens, preserves and pickles, cheese, bread, cakes and cookies. As well as local wines, vinegars and beers, you’ll find cordials and soft drinks that will amaze you with the exotic ingredients and the sheer invention that puts together ingredients to create unique flavours.
Local car boot sales can be another source of local food, as some of the larger ones will have people selling their own home grown food stuffs, either to eat on the spot or to buy and take home. It can make a pleasant break just travelling the country visiting the best of the local farm shop/producers or farmer’s markets.
Just make sure you have plenty of room in the car for all the bargains you may pick up, don’t have a big enough car? Then get UK car hire from Aspect and explore the varied and intriguing places in the UK where you can buy great food. We have great fish all along the coast, in Scotland smoking fish is a great tradition and you can buy fantastic smoked fish that is not available anywhere else.
From Scotland to Cornwall you’ll find an amazing variety of food to buy or to try, all you have o do is get in your car and explore!
