In this paid issue of the Sourced newsletter we’ve got the revival of the 18th century Beanfest, Anna shares some thoughts on tourism and Chloe shares her go-to method for mushrooms.

History of Beanfeast

It was 6 July 1773 when King George III arrived by barge in Woolwich. After enjoying an open-air feast of beans and bacon, he proclaimed an annual holiday that became known as Beanfeast. Nowadays, Beanfeast is a chiefly British word, informally referring to a festive occasion that includes an outing and a meal, usually in summer.
