Not sure what you are suggesting is the mistake, but I totally agree that you need to ask lots of questions about the food, where it has come from and so on before buying. At least in a farmers market you get to ask the producers or people who know the producers.

At a supermarket you ask a minimum wage monkey who can barely spell Scotland, let alone know where it is or the name of the farm that the beef came from.

I worked in a supermarket for over 20 years and I can assure you I know exactly where Scotland is and how to spell it.

It would not be easy to tell you where individual packets of meat come from as supermarkets buy in such huge quantities.

And I never ever thought of myself as a minimum wage monkey. I just thought of myself as a woman with children doing all she could to help her family. A job in the supermarket suited the hours I had available and the staff discount and excellent pension plus other benefits were a nice bonus!

I suppose one of the worst aspects of the job were the stuck up rude customers we sometimes had to deal with. Luckily they were in the minority - most of the customers were nice people.

Hi - just wondered if anyone knows of good reasonably priced farmer's markets in or around Liverpool?
