Britain's treasury minister today used the example of a UK bakery exporting naan to India as a "go-getting" reshaping of post-Brexit Britain as a global trading nation.
Liz Truss, UK's Chief Secretary to the Treasury, during a visit to Signature Flatbreads in Befordshire, said that a company in the east of England selling India its own traditional bread is a sign that the region can expand its exports base as the UK prepares to leave the European Union (EU).
"Selling naan breads in India from a company based in Dunstable would once have been unthinkable, said Truss.
"It's this type of entrepreneurial, and go-getting, spirit that will help the UK make a success of this once in a lifetime opportunity to reshape Britain, she said.
She noted that east of England exports are already worth 29 billion pounds per year, which is set for a boost after Brexit.
Truss added: We are in a terrific position to take advantage of the new trading horizons open to us after Brexit, and I know that businesses in Bedfordshire and beyond are raring to go.
"The east of England is flourishing, and we are hugely committed to ensuring this region and its businesses step out into the world and benefit from our new independent trade policies."
