reality tv

I'm now quite accustomed to seeing large fish being gutted on prime time tv and tonight we marvelled at some beautiful big fish being caught at sea and then prepared and eaten in the studio as celebrity guests drooled, 'ooh'ing and 'ahh'ing over the delicacies. the healthy thing that strikes me most is that food here is understood and has a history: it's mainly seasonal (local) and people are educated as to how it is caught or picked. although satsuma's are something we associate with christmas, it never really dawned on me that they are actually harvested in cold weather. everyday's an education!
