Hang on a minute - where is this meat from?

Primary schools in Anglesea have complained to the Local Authority because their private catering company had promised to supply British or Irish meat in fact provided meat from Europe. You can read the full story here

This story cheers me up greatly. Pre-Jamie, I doubt many schools would have known or cared where there meat came from. The fact that 11 schools took it upon themselves to monitor the food they recieve and then make a complaint because it was wrong gives me hope that schools are taking more and more responsibility for the school dinner.

When schools are fully engaged it really raises standards. I believe that part of the reason caterers were able to get away with such poor quality dinners in the past was because of the lack of monitoring and holding to account.
