A gastropub or gastro pub is a pub that serves food of high quality, with a nearly equal emphasis on eating and drinking. The term was coined in the 1990s in the United Kingdom.

Traditionally, British pubs were drinking establishments and little emphasis was placed on the serving of food. The growth of gastropubs influenced change in British dining and pub culture, and has sometimes attracted criticism for potentially removing the character of traditional pubs. "Pub grub" expanded to include British food items such as steak and ale pie, shepherd's pie, fish and chips, bangers and mash, Sunday roast, ploughman's lunch, and pasties. In addition, dishes such as hamburgers, chips, lasagne and chili con carne are now often served. In August 2012, ''gastropub'' was added to ''Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary''. In 1984 ...

Vegetable Box Scheme
A vegetable box scheme is an operation that delivers fresh fruit and vegetables, often locally grown and organic, either directly to the customer or to a local collection point. Typically the produce is sold as an ongoing weekly subscription and the offering may vary week to week depending on what is in season. Background Some of the organic veg box schemes in the UK were created by growers such as Guy Watson and Charles Dowding. These schemes are usually operated by the grower or a small co-operative. By early 2007, according to the Soil Association, retail sales via such schemes were in excess of £100 million per annum. Many schemes are run on a local or regional basis, delivering food direct from the producer to the consumer.

Some British supermarkets have also begun offering vegetable boxes. A box ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
