          Pizza Wheat can be grown in the UK (Heritage Blend Artisan Pizza Flour)
          Purple broccoli is and can be grown in the winter (Purple Sprouting Broccoli Is A Winter Crop Worth Growing - Hobby Farms)
          Tomatoes can be imported from North African countries for example.
          Ham can be produced easily in the UK.
          Wine can be sourced from UK, Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Argentina, USA, South Africa, etc.

          Apart from that it is spot on.
          And all of that will be tariff free.

            If people looked at food in the supermarkets, you will see a lot of it is already produced in the UK and non-EU countries.

            Sure, there will be some foods that become more expensive, but not stable foods that 99% of the UK people consume. If you want a very specific French cheese, then yes, tariffs will apply.

            I believe overall there are deals and opportunities to be done. I think the EU will be the hardest deal for the UK to achieve, they have a vested interest to see the UK fail and will put pressure on other non EU countries to not deal with us.

              Are you 100% sure about that?
              Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                    Most of those rely on tariffs agreed between them and the EU, after 31-Dec, wto apply and there will be tariff increases. Furthermore, a lot of fruit and veg goes via Rotterdam and then sold on to UK buyers who then transport it to the UK.
