I would not have a clue, but Zerella Farms have been around for a long time though.

Next weeks programme, Thursday 14th, channel 5 @ 8pm, is lifting the lid on supermarket meat, revealing what's in a budget sausage and the conditions in which cheap, and pricier organic, chickens are raised !

Is this going to send me screaming back to vegetarianism? Hope not low carb vegetarian seems realy difficult to me.

It'll just drive you to a butcher, and in France, that should be pretty straightforward, I'd think.

If we ever get there.... house sale appears to have stalled again. Although Mr Slim is currently in france and starting on some fairly major renovation work. Feeling a bit left out with very little to do here, once Mum is sorted out.
Butcher hmmm, lets see, so far as I know that would be a 20 minute drive to the nearest. Unless we discover one closer. Sometimes the rural idyll is not so ideal.
Small Supermarket is a ten minute drive, maybe we should check out its small town for butchers. There are good boulangeries there. Will ask Mr Slim. He will ofc be delighted to add to his jobs list.

With a freezer you only need a butcher every so often. There are fabulous economies of scale to be had by by buying half (or quarter) a sheep/pig/cow. Provided I keep a decent freezer inventory we do fine.

Episode 3 looks interesting:

“Sian Williams and Stefan Gates lift the lid on convenience foods, with Stefan challenged to eat nothing but ready meals for a month. Sian investigates the amount of salt added into children's lunch snacks, and the pair also get to grips with the small print on the labels and the tricks companies use to make such meals appear healthier than they are.”

Not quite so scary as it might have been, they focussed on sausages and chicken, although the idea that we are trusting the supermarkets to test their own products and give honest report to consumers is mind boggling.
