Just a small post to conclude week 2. We had some left over mangoes and apples from the Ocado fruit boxes we've been getting, as lovely as mangoes are we don't really get through them so they were about to go in the bin, as were a few apples that had gone soft.
It seems such a waste to chuck them away considering the effort it had taken to get those mangoes to the UK, so I have made some mango chutney out of them! If it tastes nice, I might even make some as Christmas presents...
I've just done a little research on the Carbon footprint of delivering mangoes to the UK - it seems that they are actually transported by sea, which is good for carbon emissions (but i'm sure there's some other environmental impact yet to be explored). Here's some more reading on it.
Cooking up leftovers definitely feels like a positive step, perhaps portion size is another area I can improve in the future.
