Ramsay: Ban Out Of Season Foods

Gordon Ramsay has told British Prime Minister Gordon Brown that fruit and vegetables should be locally-sourced and only on restaurants menus when in season. The chef has suggested to the UK leader that there should be an outlawing out-of-season produce. The BBC reports:

Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay says British restaurants should be fined if they serve fruit and vegetables which are not in season.

The TV chef said it was “fundamentally important” for chefs to provide locally-sourced food.

“Fruit and veg should be seasonal,” he said. “Chefs should be fined if they haven’t got ingredients in season on their menu. I don’t want to see asparagus on in the middle of December. I don’t want to see strawberries from Kenya in the middle of March. I want to see it home grown.”
