Our breakfast was apples, yogurt, and milk, all from our market share, which I’ve posted about here.
Both Nora and I really enjoyed the breakfast -- it was really lovely not having to make the trek over to a dining hall to start off our day. Instead we were able to begin our day in our PJs in the kitchen in our dorm!
Neither of us are big “breakfast people”, so the breakfast of yogurt, apples and milk was perfectly satisfying, though if we wanted a heartier breakfast it would’ve been super easy to scramble some eggs to go with it! The yogurt by itself was a little bland, but eaten with a bite of apple was delectable! In retrospect, buying local honey at the farmers market might have been a smart idea to add to the yogurt, and if the commitment was made to eat locally for more than one day, would’ve definitively been a worthy investment.
While eating, we started talking about how berries or another type of fruit would’ve been great with the yogurt as well, which got us thinking about one of the main limitations of local food: variety. It's a common theme in criticisms of the local food movement, and one that's definitely worth thinking about. We only ate locally for one day, if we continued our experiment for a week, or even a year I think we would've had a lot more trouble with our taste buds getting bored!
All in all though, we couldn’t have asked for a better start to our project!
