WHAT DID YOU EAT FROM YOUR ALLOTMENT TODAY?

[GrannieAnnie]

The last butternut squash...but not quite the last as a neighbor and I painted it in
a still life we've been working on. It is now "the immortal" butternut!

[SueK]

We've been finishing off the mibuna and mizuna in salads and stir fries this week.

[Digeroo]

Finally getting PSB.  Thought it would never produce.  Also getting some celery, not long stalk but makes a good addition to a stew.  I thought it would not survive the winter but no problems there.  Getting a few furry carrots too, also good for the chicken stew.

Hid some raw sliced sorrel in a lettuce salad just now (along with finely sliced young dandelion leaves and hedge garlic) and had no adverse comments.

Sorrel is interesting stuff that I wasn't sure how to use. Yesterday I dropped some sliced leaves into an omelette at the still runny stage and they melted away into it, adding a delicious lemony taste. Then wilted some into cream I happened to have for a short simmer, and poured the result over some fried bacon. Both were lovely (nasty khaki colour when cooked, though).

Does anyone else use sorrel?

I grew the cultivated red-veined sorrel from T&M some years ago and it has stood through the winters ever since.  I only use it as a raw leaf, but even the smallest and youngest are rather too sharp for OH. I'll try it in an omelette after what you said, and maybe soup?

[manicscousers]

pizza topping (only 4 more lots left  :( )..includes last years tomatoes, garlic, onions, peppers , basil and chillies  ;D

[Digeroo]

I had my first pea pod.  Could not wait for the peas.

Fiinally getting lots of PSB.

I got some sorrel seeds in a swap, not sure what to do with them.
