Eating your own dog food...

I've spent the entire evening picking through tons and tons of data instead of making jam. Hopefully the berries I picked which are soaking under water will be OK until tomorrow in the fridge...

One particular project I am working on at the moment requires country of origin data be present for all batches of a product. It's been fascinating digging through the data and checking out which batches contain product from which countries.



Doing so though makes me think there must be a simpler way to find the data. The problem is the declaration could be made at any of 'n' levels deep in a supply chain. The closer to source it is made, the more authentic the data...

It's given me some ideas tho..

What would be simpler would be to make the jam!

I remember liking the Black Shape biscuits that we used to give our dog. Black was the only colour that tasted nice!
