I’ll be doing a summary in the next few days.

Karen: I definitely couldn’t give up coffee or chocolate for more than a few days – they are one of life’s pleasures.

Fran39: Tinned tomatoes (in facts tomatoes full stop) would be very hard. Imagine what it was like before they got to Europe tho!

JennDZ: I’d really recommend it – you suddenly find loads of great local stuff you hadn’t noticed before.

I know I have difficulty with this as well, but I think it is good to continue to try to be more conscious about where our food comes from.

From your list, I think I’d find it hardest to survive without chickpeas, tinned toms and nuts. Oddly, I wouldn’t miss choccy and coffee that much, but no rice would be a severe blow.
