Recently I have mostly been eating...

[babycart]

Two jars of pickled onions i recently made to my grandad's recipe.

They are fantastic.

Secret: muscovado sugar and coriander seeds, along with chili, allspice, 2 cloves, cinnamon stick, knob of ginger, peppercorns and bayleaf in the vinegar.

I've been overindulging this week (bargain hunting at the supermarket). Amongst other treats, I've been picking sweetcorn from between my teeth every night. And I just had some of this with my coffee. It goes a lot further than the 'Serves 2' suggests and I'm now working out how to scale it up even further...

And this should be ready in time for Green Man. Although I may have slightly overdone the cinnamon.

Hi!

The first crop of Chicken Of The Woods mushrooms that I planted in a tree stump in March. Mushrooms are incredibly easy to grow, and everybody should do it. They also taste incredible.

would any old stump do? or does it have to be specific?

Unless they are magic mushrooms, possibly the most vile taste of any of the fungi family...but great results

Chicken of The Woods grows better on stumps - many other mushrooms will grow on cut logs or even in a bucket of compost covered in damp newspaper. I usually grow a load of button mushrooms in a standard compost bed and then have a few specialty mushrooms on logs and stumps. For about £15 you get 100 impregnated spawn plugs which you just stick into the stump / log and they spread all over. It's well worth getting into - you don't even need a garden - just a cupboard.

That rhubarb vodka looks great. Now I've got to find some rhubarb.

Fancy some fungus now,too.

I made spinach and ricotta ravioli this week. Only my secong attempt at making pasta and the machine broke so I had to roll it by hand. The filling was nice but the pasta was about twice as thick as it needed to be. It was like eating about 8 compressed pancakes in one go.

Still glad I tried though.

Anyone found any truffles? Perfect conditions this year apparently.

Now I've got to find some rhubarb.

What actually grows on Lanzarote? The landscape in your ten pound challenge looked incredibly bleak. Is eating rhubarb peculiar to the British?

Lucky it ain't your profession.

I also dabble.

Or is it dribble.

Loads of stuff is cultivated and the salad greens and grapes are delicious, but hardly anything grows wild. I've scored some nice dates off a palm tree, though, and i found a little melon once, but when I ate it it was the bitterest thing I've ever tasted.

No rhubarb here at all, and I can't remember seeing it in Germany or France either.

Leaf beet, shallots and potatoes from my allotment in deepest Sarf Lundahn

Rhubarb comes from Asia, I think - and they eat it in Scandanavia & the US as well as here - they just don't have the infamous 'rhubarb triangle' we have here in t'North. Towny'll tell you.

I suspect your good lady wife will clarify this matter.
My money is on the latter.

I made rhubarb vodka recently too....'twas amazing (although I didn't use cloves/cinnamon etc...looks dope!!)

[wickerman]

Made some nice Grilled Tuna fillets with cooked Rhubarb in sugar and date & fig-vinegarcream. That was nice
