Indeed. His Icelandic is far better than mine and I defer to him on that. It is interesting because it highlights the fact that we bring in so many food products by flying them in from other countries. If we can produce these products locally, should we fly them in, burning up carbon in so doing? The importing of people is an entirely different matter but should we fly in products from South America that we can produce locally? I say "No".

Senator McCarthy referred to Baileys Irish Cream. In my working life I had the great privilege of working for Virginia Milk Products which produces Baileys Irish Cream for the market. The cream used was absolutely fantastic. Having the cream from Baileys Irish Cream with a dessert was an unbelievable experience because the quality of that cream was so great. It was one of the nicest things I have ever eaten in my life. It really feels so light compared with the standard stodgy cream which one can buy elsewhere. I will not say where.
