Local food connects us with nature
Today you will taste delicious food, most of them local dishes that have been cooked with love and with local ingredients.
Did you know that eating local food can improve your environmental footprint at least 30%?
And that local products are healthier for you, for the planet and also for the villages you have visit today?
plates to share
Today you will enjoy many traditional recipes, made with local ingredients:
1. Spanish omelette – with potatoes from Córdoba, oil from the farm you have visited and organic eggs. This plate reduces the environmental footprint by 40% when compared to a packaged supermarket potato omelet.
2. Salmorejo: an almost vegan dish (if it weren’t for the garnish) All the vegetables are close and take care of the territory. This way you reduce the environmental footprint by 35%, if you compare it with nearby vegetables. Moreover, it improves your health!
3. Fried potatos: they are truly extraordinary and with only three ingredients: potatoes, Himalayan salt and oil. However, since they are packaged in aluminum and have distant salt, their environmental impact is greater than that of the previous dishes… so we have to finish them!!
To continue with…
You had to choose between two options yesterday:
1. Breadcrumbs with chorizo: a very typical dish from the area that traditionally used the bread left over from the previous day… it really is delicious, and made with Los Raigones oil.
2. Chickpeas with spinach: congratulations to those of you who have chosen this vegetarian dish! It is very typical and they are also seasonal products. It is the option that takes the most care of the rural environment that you have visited today. It has 20% less environmental footprint than crumbs.
For dessert: oranges!!! so local and seasonal!!
Let’s avoid food waste!
By throwing away food, we also waste energy, water, land, hours of work and resources for the future.
By European law, everything left on the table must be thrown in the trash.
Therefore, to avoid wasting food:
1. If you see that you don’t want the whole plate, it is better not to receive it and share it with someone nearby.
2. If you see that there are shared dishes that are not going to be eaten, tell the waiter before they remain on the table and have to be wasted.
And above all… enjoy today’s food!
Every detail counts for the sustainability we talk about We are all hummingbirds in the fire!
