East Side Story: Free State Kitchen

East Side Story: Free State Kitchen

We love it when we discover totally new corners of the city. Those hidden, previously off-limits places that remind us of how much more of the city we have to discover. Who know, for example, there’s a green space tucked behind Hope Street, with ivy clad walls, picnic tables and beatific statues of Jesus? We [...]

The Butcher’s Tale

The Butcher’s Tale

When Irish meat traders take meat from Polish suppliers to deliver to Northern Irish meat processors, to deliver to English readymeal makers, to sell on to British supermarkets to stock in your local Tesco Metro it, truly, is the end of days.

Liverpool – Land of the Supermarkets

The British have a delightfully dysfunctional relationship with supermarkets. On the one hand, we’re continually being told that they’re the bad guys – selling us poorly produced, microwavable slop with all the nutritional value of cardboard, while shafting small farmers and producers along the way.

Eat up, speak up: why Liverpool needs to boast about its food scene

Eat up, speak up: why Liverpool needs to boast about its food scene

When I first moved to Liverpool in late 2009, I’ll admit that I didn’t exactly have the best perception of the city’s food. Blame it on the chip on the shoulder that I carried around with me as an exiled Mancunian, or just blame it on the fact that I didn’t watch nearly enough Brookside [...]
