This is going to be an experiment. I’m not sure how it will go. But as I am in Oxford for the Oxford Symposium on Food and Cookery, and as the topic is vegetables, we thought it might be an entertaining wheeze to see if I can live blog it. I can foresee two problems.
One, sitting here typing will disturb people. That could easily make me stop. Two, I’ll run out of juice. Despite the wonderful facilities, there doesn’t seem to be an outlet anywhere nearby. And three (did I say two?) in addition to plenary sessions, there are parallel sessions and it might be awkward rushing from one to another.
But I’ll give it a go. So here I am, waiting in the plenary hall for Jim Godfrey, chairman of the board of CIP, the International Potato Centre, to do his spuddy thing.
