A free and delicious lunch. Who would say no to that?

We went to Trafalgar Square today to support Feeding the5k an initiative to encourage British households to reduce their food waste.
The organisation served vegetable curry, apple juice and fruit between 12-2 pm.

The curry was made with wonky carrots, potatoes and other imperfect vegetables which were donated by farmers. They also donated fruit which like the vegetables would have been thrown away otherwise due to the strict cosmetic standards of the supermarkets.

There were live cooking demos from amongst others Thomasina Miers and Thomas Hunt who taught people how to be creative with leftover food.

Trafalgar Square was full of people enjoying their curry or queuing up for fruit and fresh apple juice. Feeding the 5K was a wonderful event which hopefully inspired people to be creative in the kitchen and think wisely about how and what they are consuming.

Unfortunately by the time we arrived there was no curry left, so instead we went to Mr. Kong, my favourite Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, for crispy duck and noodles.

Not at all free, but very delicious!
