If you saw my Theme Reveal for the A2Z Challenge 2022, then you will know that I wrote about becoming Vegetarian gradually as a response to the crisis in food supply chains sparked by the pandemic and made worse by the WAR in Ukraine. As well, I kept to the theme I originally planned of food which can be eaten in its own right as well as becoming an ingredient in other dishes…
Another Road Trip – I have chosen one post for the sign-up list and posted my first Road Trip Review! There were a couple of posts that didn’t get much attention – the post that garnered no comments and perhaps no visitors, was Sesame, Steamers and Supply Chains… – granted it was quite short, but at least it made me, make a new batch of Gomasio… Chorizo – as an ingredient – Not Going the Whole Hog… was also one that didn’t get much love despite the splendid pun in the title if I do say so myself…But when I came to try and choose a favourite that I would like people to go to, I found it really hard, I felt that they all succeeded equally in the goals I set myself and they all received a similar level of interest – perhaps Rhubarb and the Return of Mercantilism… for building a story of economic theory around a delicious fruit and with some beautiful photos garnered from the web, or perhaps Olives, and Overeating… because I was able to use some of my own photos (What are we to do with the gigabytes of pictures we take?) – In the end I decided on Rhubarb, but if you missed any or want to revisit, here is a list of all the 26 posts – and as Julia Child famously said at the end of each show – “Bon appetit!”
Apples – as an ingredient, and Analogues of Meat…
Bread – in Geopolitics, in Vegetarianism and – as an ingredient…
Chorizo – as an ingredient – Not Going the Whole Hog…

P.S. I will be posting my own form of Road Trip – reviews of sites I will be visiting over the coming months – if you are reviewed, I will let you know in a comment on your site… The first of these is up now:- A2Z 2022 Challenge – Road Trip Reviews 1…
What a great challenge theme! Your really making a difference in the world and hopefully encouraging some of us readers to do the same. Your titles are very clever. I’ll be taking a look-see soon.

Hi there! I just started my road trip with your blog. I have missed most of your posts during the challenge as I was struggling to write and post my story each day. But I am back now and so glad. I am a foodie, a vegetarian by birth and now choice (of course I don’t mind eggs in cakes 🍰😆). So this blog is very useful for me as I can try some recipes you posted of I get all those ingredients here in India. I’ll definitely share when I try your recipe. Oh I love Julia Child too! Bon Appetit!
There has just been a TV series called Julia – mostly American actors, but Julia child herself, was played by English actress Sarah Lancashire – it was very good and maybe it will be available on streaming services…
Hey Andrew, as you know I have moved on from this year’s A-Z.
You should consider joining a UBC – ultimate blogging challenge, they take place the first month of every new quarter, so next time in October.
Thanks for your visit and encouraging comment.
