    In: 2 pks of cooked venison mince, I cooked 3 pks yesterday - had one for tea as shepherds pie and froze two for future use
    Out; ice cream, sweetcorn, peas,
    I'm finding since this lockdown my homegrown frozen veg and fruit from last year are disappearing at a good rate so much so that I think I'll soon have enough space for a carcass of pork. I find the supermarket pork has no taste and is very bland. We have friends who produce just a few rare breed pigs a year and a whole carcass lasts us the year.

    IN: 2 packs of mashed swede, forgot I had the swede and found it yesterday looking a bit sad, so boiled and mashed it for future meals.
    Do I need it or just want it.

    In: finally managed a proper shop, so frozen veg, whole chicken, chicken breasts, fish fillets.
    Out: an obscene amount of bread ends for drying in oven and then blitzing for breadcrumbs or keeping whole for croutons. Couple slice gluten free clementine cake. All to make space for the shop i done.
    zafiro1984 I've looked into anyone local selling pig straight from the farm here in hertfordshire, but no joy.  And rare breed too! A real treat i'm sure. 

    It's good for the soul to walk with your soles on the soil.
