A message from a fellow food adventurer

I got this from Ulrike who has also been playing with her food:

"Hello Sarah & Rob,

I've made an adventure with food today: Black Salsify. Abel & Cole have delivered them with the small deluxe box twice in the last three weeks and today we felt adventurous enough to cook them!
You boil them for about half an hour, and then peel the bark-like skin off:
We've eaten them in browned goat's butter & parsley accompanied by an omelette:

Tastes like jerusalem artichoke I find.
According to Jules' research on the internet, salsify was Thomas Jefferson's favourite vegetable!

I don't think it's as adventurous as your purple mushrooms or squirrel stew but I thought I'd share it with you,

Ulrike xx"

Ulrike then reported that she thinks the salsify didnt agree with her too well but maybe it was because it had been sitting in the box for three weeks.

Thanks U!

The point I am trying to make, through this un-dignified rant, is that water is indeed everywhere and it all tastes the bloody same. Perrier, for instance, though I could have easily picked out Badoit, Barisart or Pellegrino, arrives on the shelves of our abundant supermarkets in sexy looking, stylish bottles that are pleasing to the human eye. There is little wrong with this, beauty has its place. The home should be filled with gorgeous things. But it's the human tongue that counts here and mine says the only dissimilar thing its buds can gauge between the continental waters and our very own mountain spri...

a Plea for Butter

The one item we are struggling to locate a regular supply for within 100 miles, is butter. Please help! The butter we found so far is either made from the cream on the top of the Duchy Milk or else from a tiny place in sussex that we cant go back to for a while.
