Ann ~

Does the label say grown in NZ or packed in NZ??

I'll buy something that's grown across the ditch, but I avoid something marked as "packed" (especially frozen veg) because it probably was grown in China!

Nothing against the Chinese, but they use fertilizers etc that are banned elsewhere.

:-(

Nothing surprises me about M&S these days, lost their way some time back I think :-(

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

yesterday I bought some common or garden onions in M & S - just used some of them and was aghast to discover they were grown in New Zealand!!! Surely M & S could source onions from home ground
