It was a busy session for us at The Bridge Friday lunch – roving reporters, a Dundee food map, box full o' recipes and a Christmas advent calendar loaded with questions… really busy, loads of interest and encouragement, lots of awareness of local food and food issues. Plus some great soup, lovely atmosphere and some melt-in-your-mouth tablet. Highlight for me was the announcement from the gentleman who mans the door - he came in, clapped his hands, and in a big booming voice announced "The fish van has arrived!" Brilliant! Fish, veg, tablet, soup, books, tea... all served with aprons and a smile :)
A lot of the interest in the map came from people who are already doing their best to shop locally - folk who eschew the supermarket and are really well informed about where their food comes from. Conversations ranged from make do and mend, food coo-ops (anyone interested?), foraging and survival skills, local suppliers, the history of The Bridge, wild mustard, Skills Share and bread making.
