Firstly, you can’t milk a conker 🙄 Most importantly, a horse chestnut (often called a conker) is NOT edible. It’s poisonous & can cause paralysis or death if eaten. Sweet chestnuts used below BUT calling it Conker Milk in a bid to be clever about “conkering milk” is reckless🙈

If you smirk the whole way through your "apology", is it really an apology? 🙄 @drg1985 gives a good explanation below of why recent claims about mushrooms are scientifically incorrect, and have the potential to do real harm.

The current shortage of certain produce is at best, misunderstood, and at worst, being misrepresented by some tweeters 👀 Yes, we should grow more fruit & veg, but that still won't give us Irish tomatoes or peppers in February 😑 If you want Irish F&V, eat seasonally. Simple.

Scrolling through #farmersprotest tweets & it’s a reminder of how much work is needed to inform consumers about the reality of farming. Remember if you eat beef, dairy, lamb, pork or vegetables, they’re all coming from a farm with highly skilled people working to keep you fed.

Meat is off the menu in TCD this week🤔 How much of the food is imported/frozen? Maybe a focus on backing Irish horticulture by highlighting seasonality, sensible portions & reducing food waste, would be better than a lazy view that meat is bad. Ps. Is methane from rice, ok? 🫢
