The purpose of these challenges is to get you to go out and take or make an image that fits the bill rather then simply choosing a photo from your hard drive. So if you went out and took a photo just for this challenge then you should be proud of your achievement. <\/p>\n<p>This time round the winner wasn\u2019t chosen by me. Instead I handed that responsibility to Sam, who many of you know is a food writer and photographer. You can see some of Sam\u2019s work over at her website <a href=\"http:\/\/www.samskitchen.net\">www.samskitchen.net<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Once again the standard of the entries was very high, so I asked Sam to pick one winner and 9 runners up. I think Sam\u2019s chosen a great selection of photos which cover the whole range of interpretations of \u201cFood for thought\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However there can only be one winner and this month the winner is\u2026<strong>Five-A-Day<\/strong> By <a title=\"Drag&#39;n&#39;Drop\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/45972994@N04\/\">Drag&#8217;n&#8217;Drop<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7204\/6830951916_cffdd589ed_b_d.jpg\" width=\"550\" height=\"474\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Drag&#8217;n&#8217;Drop<\/strong> will be getting a copy of his print made by my good friends over at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.printyours.co.uk\/\">Print Yours<\/a>.     <\/p>\n<p><strong>Near Misses\u2026<\/strong>     <br \/>The runners up in no particular order are below.
