Hello All...
I've got a question aimed mainly at CCers and other long term cruisers. Many people post that it's relatively easy to get foodstuffs along the canals, in particular, that freezers for instance are redundant due to a ready supply of fresh foods. But since I, and my other half, are still getting our heads around the practicalities of living aboard as potential CCers, we'd like to know how often are you CCers out there in close proximity to food shops, markets, supermarkets and the like? And, on average, how far do you usually have to travel to get to 'the shops'. Additionally, how much, and what types of food do you usually stock up on, and how long does it last, and how do you transport your shopping from shops to boat - rucksack, old fashioned shopping trolly, or bicycle?
All best,
Sal
PS: Another question, does anyone preserve foods, and not just fruits, but meats (in jars, ie confit for example, or make salamis)?
