Which came first? Poots or beans?
Weird. Food price increases and even shortages are developing everywhere.
The reasons are all different according the crop and location, but the result seems to be the same.
Imagine living in a country in which not having gravy or jelly is a “major crisis.”
They love them some beans on toast.
How on earth will they ever cope?......................................
Gravy: Flour, fat, drippings from whatever meat you prepared.
Jelly: Fruit, sugar, pectin.

Knowing British ‘cuisine’, I’d consider this a blessing...............................
Weird. Food price increases and even shortages are developing everywhere.
A few days ago I saw a regular sized bag of flavored pretzels at walmart for $4.58. That seemed excessive to me. I guess not now.
I know that’s a frequent cliche, but I found most of the restaurants I went to in London were excellent. Now I will say they were run by immigrants.

And no domestic entrepreneurs who could quickly convert part of their business operations to the production of jelly and/or gravy?
Now I will say they were run by immigrants.”
Now you know why.......................
British cuisine will revert to its true nature. Yet given the huge amounts of grapes produced in most of Europe, the price of jelly can’t be too high. The producers will be happy to get almost any decent price. North American and South American producers will also compete to enter the now open British market. Prices might actually drop.
Bangers and mash, baby!
If there’s a shortage of brown sauce it will mean war.
This is what happens when Boris canceled the northern gravy pipeline......
Now all the gravy will have to be trucked in........
First you eat them, then you toot!
Here, in our ‘little town’, I can go to Chinese, Korean, Thai, Japanese, Mexican, Italian, Greek, Indian, Irish, Turkish, and of course ‘American’ restaurants, but not one British restaurant!.....................
Watch out for Poots
