Thread: The carbon footprint of my meal!!!

Bought a load of healthy vegetables for my stir fry tonight and for a change was drawn to towards the origins named on the packaging.



Holy fook!

The combined total miles for the above from origin to Hells Kitchen is a whopping 55,635 miles!!

Green Beans - Morocco 2100 miles

Mushrooms - Ireland 256 miles

Peppers - Spain 1230 miles

Babycorn - India 4724 miles

Shallots - Nottingham UK 97 miles

Carrots - Nairobi 6742 miles

Ginger - Brazil 5561 miles

Spring onions - Egypt 2500 miles

Garlic - Spain 1280 miles

Chilli's - Thailand 5864 miles

And the kicker is all this produce can be grown locally but is far more expensive if you buy it from local sources.

What is going on with business in the world?

Anyhow the money shot, tbf it was an average 7/10



Served with duck and Jasmine rice (no these aren't in the total....or the spices, probably looking at 100k miles now)

It's fvcking QUACKERS!
