Pub opens in Somerset serving milk on draught

SWNS

A pub which serves organic milk on draught has opened in Somerset as consumers return to dairy after years of experimenting with plant-based alternatives. The New Inn in Blagdon has been temporarily renamed ‘The Moo Inn’ to reflect its new offering - the white stuff on tap with a focus on flavour, quality, and craftsmanship. Each variety of organic milk will be served in 250ml measures, at optimum temperatures, in milk-friendly glasses for the “ultimate flavour experience.” And each drink will be paired with bespoke tasting notes as part of a ‘Gastronomilk’ tasting. Options include a semi skimmed golden milk, a classic chilled semi skimmed, whole milk hot chocolate - and if you fancied dessert, double cream has also made the menu paired with a roasted plum crumble. Larry Lamb officially opened Yeo Valley Organic’s Moo Inn - which is now open between 12-10:30pm everyday until 3rd November.

  • Bolivia's Morales claims government plotted to kill him

    STORY: It's a dramatic video, with two very different explanations. A sequence posted by former Bolivian president Evo Morales shows what he says was a gun attack on him. He posted on Facebook the video taken from a moving car, with gunshots heard in the background. Morales is seen in the front passenger seat, with two bullet holes in the windshield.The driver appears to have been injured.Morales told Reuters on Monday that the government of ally-turned-rival President Luis Arce was behind the alleged attack, calling it a 'dark plot to destroy' him.In his first international interview since the incident, he denied his team had weapons, and called the attack an 'ambush,'.“I didn’t carry any weapon, nothing. As a former president, I should carry a revolver. But nothing. That wasn't authorised. So, to say that we have fired - please."Morales blamed the government, but did not directly say that Arce ordered it. He didn't provide any evidence for his claim, which has escalated tensions within the ruling socialist party.Bolivia’s government denied attacking Morales, calling it 'theater'. A spokesman said it was Morales' convoy which fired on anti-narcotics police: "They fired from a vehicle, threatening the life and safety of the Bolivian police officers, and targeting vehicles that were being used in the fight against drug trafficking. After the shooting, one of their vehicles ran over a member of the Bolivian police."The disputed claims mark a risky new chapter in tensions within the ruling party. It's divided by the rivalry between Morales and his former protégé Arce, who was economy minister during Morales’ nearly 14-year rule, which ended in 2019.Morales resigned after a disputed election that caused turmoil. Arce, often known by his nickname 'Lucho', was then elected the next year, but has tried to distance himself from his predecessor.Morales says a party vote on who should lead is now the answer: “If Lucho wants to be president, let us submit to internal, closed elections. The best way to resolve them is through internal elections, even open elections, but he doesn't want to do that."Bolivia, facing an economic crisis as foreign currency reserves shrink, will hold presidential elections next year.

  • Trump talks religion, Harris talks jobs as millions vote early

    STORY: With a week to go until the November 5 election, U.S. Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and her Republican rival Donald Trump on Monday worked to win over the few remaining undecided and independent voters in key battleground states. Trump courted religious voters in the southern swing state of Georgia during a National Faith Advisory Board event. "I mean honestly, religion is under threat in this country. Serious threat. And we can't let that happen because I really believe it is sort of the fabric our country, it is the thing that holds our country together.” Later, to a crowd of thousands at a rally in Atlanta, Trump rejected Harris’ recent contention that he is a fascist, calling himself QUOTE ‘the opposite of a Nazi." “There's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. Yeah. I think it's called Puerto Rico.” Trump also continued to face backlash Monday over his New York City rally a day earlier, where a comedian called Puerto Rico a 'floating island of garbage’ and peddled other racist tropes about Latinos, an important demographic in several of the seven swing states that will decide who wins the presidency.Harris, as well as Popular Puerto Rican celebrities, and some congressional Republicans, have all since denounced the comments. The Trump campaign has said the joke did not reflect its views, though the candidate himself has not addressed the comments. Meanwhile, Harris on Monday was in Michigan, where she first toured a semiconductor facility, and made her pitch to union workers. “Union labor and hard work is what so much of us fought for, workers' rights across the board. So look, I'm here, I'm here for you.” Later that evening, Harris appeared at a rally in Ann Arbor with her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Harris framed Trump, as she has increasingly in recent weeks, as a threat to American Democracy and the Constitution. "And listen, you all have heard me say, I do believe Donald Trump to be an unserious man. But the consequences of him ever being president again are brutally serious. Brutally serious.” U.S. President Joe Biden on Monday joined the some 46 million Americans who have cast early ballots in the November 5 contest, according to the Election Lab at the University of Florida. National polls, including the latest one from Reuters/Ipsos, as well as surveys in swing states, have Harris and Trump neck-and-neck with election day just around the corner.

It makes sense – batch cooking is, after all, inherently useful, and most soups probably make for a more nutritious lunch than a tuna melt. But usefulness and nourishment are only the second and third reasons why I might spend a Sunday afternoon cooking a great big pan of soup.
