Anyone know where the BBC got his bread as it is enormous? (Earlier series, with Blamire)
I buy proper bread every Thursday at a local market ,its artisan baked and they make a very wide range of breads and cakes .I have to stop myself buying nice things like ,strawbery tarts and other lovely products.The cheese I buy from a deli in the same village as the market and is a rare place in our locality,a food shop that sells real food from small suppiers.If you get the chance try some Keens Organic Cheddar its marvelous in proper bread ,blimey I feel hungry writing this!!!!!!!!
What's really nice about our visits from the US to Yorkshire, is that
in Yorkshire we can get real breads from real bakeries, real
cheeses from real cheeseries, and real from real breweries, and
real eggs from back-porch eggeries. None of which we can get
here at home!
We are jealous!!!

You do have micro-breweries

Yes, but it's all gassy and LichtBrau! We have absolutely
nothing like Ram Tam, Old Peculiar, or Riggwelter (my
own personal fave!) over here. Not even a Landlord.
I often brew my own dark ales, but have never had a
hand pump. Instead I prime the bottles with sugar before
capping. Not great but it does work.

I find that this depends on where one is in the US. I grew up in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, which has some the the country's best farmland. There are a number of exceptional farmers markets in the area. Many of the vendors are authentic bakeries (Ric's Bread, etc.) and others offer organic produce right off the local farms (including real eggs, etc. Now living in the Washington DC area, this is the part of my hometown that I miss the most.

This reminds me of Levi Zendt in Michener's Centennial. Born and raised a Mennonite in Lancaster County, Michener goes into a fair amount of detail as to how well his farming family fed themselves from their produce.
