Michael Portillo in Eccles

[Khandro]

Using his Bradshaw's guide, when he arrived in Eccles he discovered that the raisins in the cakes come from Greece, as they have so few exports, would eating more Eccles cakes help their struggling economy?

A bit unpatriotic not to use locally grown raisins, I would have thought.
