Do you prefer the foods from distant place to local foods?

Actually no, i rather prefer local food as i am very picky at what i eat. I have to agree that due to most of the transportation, it is starting to be a serious problem with polution. Stay local as we say in our country. 'Local is lekker'

Last winter, I checked what I would have to eat if I wanted to live of local produce. I found out I could eat as much meat as I wanted to, also fish, egg and milk. Vegetables and fruits would be a problem though. In the winter, there's mainly potatoes, cabbage, carrots and onions, and after a week or two that would get a big boring. But I try to buy food from Norway most of the year, I usually check where it's from and then go for the nearest country if the food is imported. Some fruits and spices have to be imported of course, it's pretty cold here and not everything can be harvested.

I love love love a flavourful curry. *mouth waters*

I personally much prefer foods from England. The reason behind this is because it doesnt have to be transported therefore is much fresher. My eggs are all free-range from my nan and grandad they bring them down to me when I want them. I buy as much locally as I can!

Sometimes I do prefer food from a distant place. It made me know their specialties of different kind of foods and cuisine. It widens my horizons in food taste comparison. It is also an additional experience for me but I do not like exotic foods that are derived from new discoveries from different animals.

I'd prefer a local food, because its still the best food for every person, i had a friend who is in other country and she said that even there a lot of yummy foods there still the best food for her is in her own country..
