Monk fish fillets wrapped in parma ham and sundried tomato pesto with potatoes dauphinoise

This was very easy to make. But first I had to deal with the ethical problem of eating a fish that is ripped from the sea bed in one of the most destructive ways possible. I reckon ethical problems don't get much simpler than this one. You should not eat monkfish. There I said it.
I reckon a lot of food politics is propaganda put about by people who would just like things to be different in a way that would benefit them. Less competition (because I always lose), eat less meat (because I am a vegetarian and its no change for me) - you get the idea.
Food miles is apparently pretty much bullshit. The energy in a piece of food (any piece of food) is consumed along its growth, processing and transport. Of this the transport makes up less than 10%. The key to doing something for the environment with our food choices is to not waste food and to eat less red meat. You don't have to eat so much less that you start to get smug (see the vegan in Scott Pilgrim for example), but even a modest reduction (discover one vegetarian recipe that you like as a main meal and eat it every couple of weeks) will make a better impact on the earth than eschewing all of those healthy New Zealand Kiwis that you want to eat with a tea spoon. Oh yeah, remember that you have the kiwis in the fruit bowl and eat them before they go off. Naughty consumer.
