Local Food | The Oxford Sausage, Foxbury Farm, etc.
Recently, the Hairy Bikers
visited Oxfordshire on their Food Tour of Britain. The show featured many of the food hotspots of Oxford and the surrounding area, including the Covered Market and, most interestingly, Foxbury Farm. As many people know, we regular order food from Foxbury and have enjoyed many doorstep conversations with Colin – the farmer behind Foxbury’s farm shop and great produce! From Foxbury, the Hairy Bikers got the ingredients to make a traditional skinless Oxford sausage … here is a PDF of the Oxford Sausage Breakfast (from the BBC) … something that we definitely want to try!
Additionally, they learned about quinces … another very traditional British food and quince cheese is my favorite part of any quality cheese plate. Quinces are a strange looking fruit but they make some wonderful products. The local producers that they visited make a whole range of things from quinces … unfortunately, they do not have a stockist in central Oxford, so it may be harder for me to find some to try.
