Though young, Somerset's very first whisky is (already) tasting mighty interesting.

Cheers to @hughwrites at The Wallfish Journal for spotlighting our Somerset distillery and whisky production process. You can read the full article here: open.substack.com/pub/thewallfis…

Where to eat in #Frome, published today on the WFJ. Something for one's back pocket perhaps: thewfj.co.uk/p/an-eaters-gu…

Why would any good, self-respecting food producer want to sell their wares at a supermarket, and therefore part of a system generally out to exploit producers and devalue the food they make? Some answers to be found in this week's WFJ newsletter: thewfj.co.uk/p/if-supermark…

@jayrayner1 How much were they offering?

I've just received and vigorously declined an invitation to write a 'culinary guide' to Saudi Arabia, fully funded by the Saudi govt. It's a murderous, homophobic, misogynistic regime. I've been shocked by the willingness of various hospitality businesses to take their money 1/

Mr Gates ever heard of Flora?

In the interests of cornetto - based rigour, I am examining the size of the chocolate plug at the base of each. Because this is the best bit, no? A sort of glorious crescendo finale to the whole affair. For Mrs Clay’s guide, in @TelegraphFood soon.

13 food item prices Italian supermarket vs UK supermarket 🇮🇹 cheapest for apples, oranges, eggs (free range or organic), tomatoes and greek yoghurt. 🇬🇧 cheapest for cornflakes, pringles, Kinder Bueno, KitKat, ready-made sandwiches, microwave meal, milk and bananas

Based on old (but most recent!?) data, if the chocolate digestive is your favourite biscuit, then – so sorry – you are statistically most likely to be a Tory 🍪

who's going BCBF tomorrow then?

If I could give you one piece of advice on injecting more personality into your writing, it’s this: Don’t be afraid to be weird. Weird is exceptional. Weird is interesting. Weird is novel. And? Weird isn’t really weird, to the ones who get it.

@rachelfran4340 @suepalmer23 Thank you Sue, thank you Rachel!

My friend @suepalmer23 gave me one month free reading of the entire Wallfish Journal. Totally my cup of tea. Thank you Sue. I think this piece is free ... if anybody is out there, I recommend. Seeing as I have zero followers now, due to x glitch, probably not. Hello? 👀

If you are in or visiting #Somerset this spring/summer, it may be of benefit to know I've published 18 food and drink-oriented things for one to get one's chops around: thewfj.co.uk/p/the-wfjs-gui…

The Somerset Levels are one of the county's biggest (albeit pretty artificial) marvels. But they could soon all but disappear. Full story, ft @SomersetRLM, @mtemperley, @SRAnews, @SomersetWT: thewfj.co.uk/p/somersets-mo…

@hughwrites, on the breweries keeping it very local 🌾👌💯 🤓 Read on page 62 in this month's issue 📸: Rude Giant Brew Co #fermentmagazine #beer52 #graininbeer #craftbeer

Read an exclusive extract from my #WildBoar book 'Groundbreakers' (published tomorrow) in @inkcapjournal today! Editor @some_yeo is v. modest in saying Inkcap had a "small role" in the book being born - it wouldn't have happened without her & the journal! inkcapjournal.co.uk/the-return-of-…

Hear from @hughwrites, #FromeFoodNetwork, and Caroline Wajsblum, @fromefield2fork on how their vision for a community kitchen could benefit our #community from #sustainability, giving new opportunities to local businesses and feeding our town.
