Well it's good to know so many people are still out there harvesting the free foods of the countryside A couple of people have mentioned laverbread, and I must admit it is something I have never tried We have cobnuts in our garden, and I hope we will get to them this year before the squirrels. Sadly the chestnuts I see round here are very inferior Dee x |
