I got some of my favorite gnocchi earlier this week and cooked it up yesterday. After I finished eating it I thought to check where it was made. Yes my favorite gnocchi is from Italy.I just cannot justify the food miles in getting such a very basic product to my table so I commit here and now to make my own unless I find a product with *very* minimal food miles that is made in New South Wales from NSW potatoes. Yes I have considered the loophole that the potential company might source their potatoes from (say) Western Australia.
Okay it is only a small sacrifice but I am getting serious about my food miles. I can't make an informed choice all of the time but I certainly will when I can :-)

You got me thinking though...cept for fruit and veg I hardly check that...
I hear you Miss A - and I did find some Sebagos last year so started making my own gnocchi - but they are the only ones I have come across. What sort of potatoes do you use?
