The What on Earth team came over all continental this month when we popped across to Paris for SIAL, the international food fair. After beginning our trip at silly o’clock in the morning, our Chief of Buying Stuff thought he was still dreaming when he found himself enjoying a complimentary in-flight sandwich instead of being sold scratchcards – he’s usually more of a budget airline man! But before you think our trip was just an excuse for a luxurious mini-break, we’ll have you know that we went to France on a mission: to seek out the best new organic products for you (hoorah!). Naturally, there was a lot of sampling involved – all in the name of research of course – and we were lucky enough to try caviar, pig’s trotter and Latvian pickled fish, as well as a whole host of coffees, sweets and chocolates. It’s a hard life, but someone’s got to do it! We found some exciting new suppliers and also had a chance to catch up with our existing ones, chinwagging about future projects over a beer and a cheesy biscuit. So good to have so many passionate foodies in one place – with no pesticides or additives to spoil the mood!
