Field Notes 58
Four things worth your time this week
Fire cooking in West Wales, a hidden Swansea community, a backyard BBQ, and a question about what is really sitting on the shelf.
01 / Watch
Flaming Feasts, Abertiefi
West is best. Chris Flamebaster heads to Abertiefi for fire, food and proper Welsh flavour. Worth a watch, with a few familiar FarmCo faces too.
02 / Place
A secret utopia?
A hidden community in Swansea, tucked away from the usual version of the city. Part local history, part alternative living, part reminder to look closer.
03 / Fire
A hidden backyard BBQ
A Welsh backyard BBQ that looks more like a secret food pilgrimage than a normal tea. Smoke, meat, graft and a proper bit of theatre.
04 / Real food
Are we being scammed on honey?
A question worth asking. Honey should be simple, but the modern food system has a way of making even the simplest things complicated. Is it time we looked a bit harder at what is really on the shelf?
