Today sees the start of Farmhouse Breakfast Week, one of the most laudable of all the food week campaigns. It is all about supporting British farming and, of course, MoonBites is all about supporting Chichester's farmers and growers. In fact, MoonBites was launched as a website during Farmhouse Breakfast Week two years ago. We will see a lot about the woeful state of British pig farming and the pork industry on Channel 4 TV this week.

I buy my bacon from Flint Acres Farm at Bury Gate, or from Adsdean Farm at Funtington, both of whom cure their own. If you haven't got a good local supplier and need to shop in a supermarket I suggest that you buy your bacon from Waitrose as their bacon is produced under an excellent protocol in a high welfare, fully integrated pork scheme.

During this week we are encouraged to eat a cooked breakfast as most of our breakfast foods have cereals in them in one form or another, and using British cereals supports British farmers. Pigs and chickens have a grain rich diet, hopefully from home (UK) grown cereals. Wholewheat bread and toast are high in fibre which keeps the digestive tract exercised and healthy. Porridge, from UK oats, is another high fibre food which releases energy slowly throughout the morning, keeping you satisfied until lunchtime and cutting out the need for a sugar-rich, expensive mid-morning snack.

Breakfast makes sense. Get the habit this week - and keep it. And of course, many breakfast foods like bacon, sausages and eggs make excellent quick and nutritious lunch and supper dishes too. Check out Dish of the Day for some good ideas.
