so, when will you be starting stockpiling I wonder?

Can decent EU butter be bought in tins

it is no better than British butter so why buy it.? Although I quite like Lurpak - but it's not what it was years ago.
Tinned cheese
again

Why would I want to buy US meat and dairy? yet again

How long can glass bottles of olive oil be stored for?
I would imagine years longer than the sell-by dates on the bottles. I'm sure the Romans kept it in far less hygienic conditions and for much longer.

We have a vineyard just up the road and another one not that far away.

Should be a good vintage this year!

We always imported food from overseas - notably from the Caribbean, Australia and New Zealand.
Of course, Australia have now found other markets since we abandoned them in favour of the EU.

I do prefer British produce especially livestock products for welfare reasons but there isn't enough of it to feed everyone in Britain . At present if you look on the supermarket shelves you will see that most food comes from Denmark, France, Spain and even further afield, Africa, New Zealand and South America.

My point is that with Brexit we will have to import livestock produce from the US instead of the more expensive food from Europe. We already know that the cheaper US meat and dairy is not as pure as the European equivalent. Most people. me included, cannot afford to buy more expensive food.

Brexit and worse, global warming, will make food more expensive sooner or later.

I do know about the Yorkshire vinyard, and that is one of the hot summer's great successes.

Irrespective of Brexit, do you go out of your way to support eu farmers to the detriment of our own. Shame on you.
And I repeat, this has nothing to do with Brexit

Just remembered there is a well regarded vineyard about 5 miles away. phew!!

Alexa are you being ironic?
This country produces incomparable beef, lamb, pork, dairy produce - cheeses, butter, all sorts of milk, we bake bread from flour produced in the U.K., we grow fruit and vegetables and I have enjoyed both excellent Chapeldown rosé wine from Tenterden and their pink champagne!

Why on earth would you want EU butter, eggs or EU cheese buy British ??. We will have control of our waters, Grimsby will be great again. You can't beat British fish and ? out of newspaper, no need to worry about silly EU rules. ?

How long can glass bottles of olive oil be stored for?
Can decent EU butter be bought in tins for long time storage? Tinned cheese?

Rice, how long can uncooked rice last in cool dry storage?

Obviously few will willingly eat cheap US meat or dairy, so I need to know which tinned meat is wholesome.

Can dried eggs be obtained? Naturally I'd want clean EU eggs.

Dialogue from a tv series:
‘ My Uncle never made it back from Dunkirk’
‘Oh,dear, am sorry to hear that’
‘Yes, it was a shame, but he tried to lift a very heavy case of wine into his car....and it did for him’
Tv series, comedy, The Detectives, (1980’s)

Only unpleasant because of what you are reading into it MaizieD - and don’t start spouting accusations racism. I am half German so have no axe to grind about WWII.
And Jura2 is, as she forever reminds us, as British as you or any of us.

What is unpleasant?
Querying the choice of Dunkirk?
Why?

It's not good, Petra, it's just unpleasant

MawBroon
perhaps an unfortunate choice of port for you
Oh that's good.

Jura2 you asked
Dunkirk- how are you going to get there and back, pray tell

I think some of us Brits (or our fathers or grandfathers) were pretty damn good at getting to Dunkirk and back in May 1940.

Perhaps an unfortunate choice of port for you?

pamela, I thought the op was serious! It's the others that have gone silly!

? well maw it must be 5o’clock somewhere in the world.

Well it probably wasn’t intended to be, given OP’s doom laden prognostications, but when life gives you lemons, make G&T!
So lighthearted has to be the way forward doesn’t it?

Kitty, I thought this thread was supposed to be lighthearted.
Will someone give me some guidance please.

Specially for Anniebach and all fans of Bangor (and who isn’t) one of my very favourite “feel good” songs.
I make no apology that it will be stuck in your heads for the rest of the day

We could have Ration Books again like they did in WW2 and grow our own veggies, perhaps I could be a Land Girl would give me something to do, come on ladies we can beat the Brussels Bully Boys and Frau Merkel. ?? All together now Land of Hope and Glory.

It would not occur to me to stockpile!

St. George’s whisky comes from Norfolk Jalima so I feel that most of our alcoholic requirements will be met.
Maybe the government (if we still have one!) will decriminalise stills.
Jura - of course my DD would be sending my wine supplies
by container ship. Can’t quite see that this would be a problem.
Don’t need olive oil, I use rapeseed and only a bit of that so it lasts ages.
But, do you think we’ll need nylons?
