An interesting exercise

We are having some people for dinner tonight and as always there was the debate about what to give them.
Mrs. Lear - now working hard on her eco-land management degree - came up with a brilliant idea.
There is a farm shop on the campus ( as its an agricultural college covering over 2000 acres they have lots of stuff for sale all year round). So why not source the entire meal from the shop?
Starter : Melted goats cheese on salad
Main course : venison stew with onions and carrots, accompanied by mashed potatoes and cabbage.
Dessert: Tarte tatin
Cheese.
Dinner for 6 for £37 and it all came from the shop and it is all organic and looks seriously good.
Apart from the lumps of earth on anything that grows that always seem to accompany such produce.
Adds to the weight you pay for of course.
