The rise of agribusiness during the last century, large-scale marketing by the big supermarket chains, and the possibility of flying produce around the world have all improved the reliability of the fruit and vegetables in British shops. But there is a trade-off for this - lack of variety. It is that you can find the same foods in every supermarket, but it is also depressingly . Britain's chefs certainly feel this way. They need something different to put in their dishes, something which doesn't taste just like .Some of them have found the solution to their problem. They turn to Miles Irving, Britain's first full-time commercial forager. Irving's job started almost by accident after a conversation with a chef in Canterbury. Soon, the word got round among chefs that Irving could supply sea beet, alexanders, watercelery, chickweed, and many other plants that cannot be found in any shop. Hesupplies them and can guarantee their because he has beenout and picked them himself.It's an arrangement that suits . The chefs are happy, Irving is happy to be makinga living doing something he believes in, local farmers are happy to let him forage on their land (it helps to manage it), and even the British government is happy, because Irving's encouragement of native wildplants helps it to fulfil its under the European Convention on biodiversity. Hiswork exemplifies an unusual harmony between concerns and commercial ones.
