Where in the world?

We looked at loads of food packets and found where they originated from. Some foods had come miles such as corn from Argentina, bananas and pineapple from Central America, wheat from USA, salmon from Canada, tuna from Indonesia, apples from South Africa and sunflower seeds from China. But other things had come from closer to us in Europe. Lots of salad food came from holland and Italy but most of it came from Spain, such as tomatoes, celery, cucumber, oranges and peaches. It was good fun using the atlases, map and iPads to find where all the different countries were. A few things had not had far to travel at all such as potatoes, rhubarb, mushrooms and mustard from the UK. The closest food we had was eggs from Diss!
