I’ve signed up to receive a box of vegetables from a Danish company called Aarstiderne every other week. Today was the first delivery, and I was quite excited to get home and see what was in it:

The contents are all organic, and even though they’re trucked around, Denmark is a small enough country that a lot of it counts as “local”, anyway. The box I got contained:

• Emmerys malt rye bread
• Voelkel grape juice
• Vivani milk chocolate with almonds
• Babyleaves – of some leaf vegetable of unknown origin as of yet 😉
• 5 tomatoes
• 5 plums
• 7 apples
• 10-or-so carrots (one gone already, yum!)
• a box of grapes
• a bunch of (5) leeks (edit: these are supposed to be spring onions. They’re bigger than the ones I’m used to…)
• a head of broccoli
• a cucumber
• a courgette

Costs me 223kr, which is about £24 or €30.

Now I have to figure out what to use all that stuff for.
