What do you call a diet that is as local as possible but still includes ingredients from other regions?

Asked by Blueroses (18256points) June 15th, 2011

I’m trying to be a locavore but in this area (western US) it’s very limiting. I can get some local produce, grains, dairy and meat, but trying to stay regional rules out citrus and tropical fruits, coffee and spices.

I’m not willing to lose those things but I want to stay as close to the original ingredients as possible – no prepared foods or preservatives.

Is there a name for this type of diet? It’s not organic.
