There is a lot of talk about food miles (or kilometres for the metrically adept amongst us). The black beans had by far the longest journey for tonight's meal - from Mexico. I have yet to learn of any farmer growing them here in Australia. I think the tuna had the next longest journey. It was caught off Mooloolaba, about 3 hours north of here. The tomatoes, jalapeƱo chilli, macadamia oil and vinegar for the base come from around the region. So too the mesclun on top. Next I might see if I can create a meal entirely from ingredients that have had to travel a minimum of 5,000 kms - but limited to earth.
