In Burford this am & noticed Asparagus @ £2.69 for 6 x5" spears.
What would today's pick have cost??
Mmmmm...looks lovely. Might have to put my boots on, now th rain has stopped, and go down to the lottie to see if there is any for tea.
What's in the dish Tim?
Saw Rhubarb (Timperley early) in Sainsbo's on Monday, three stalks for £1.49 they had reduced them to that at half price, having been on the shelf all weekend. Went home and picked about 30-40 stems and got it in the freezer, might sell the next flush at the allotment open day at the start of June!
;D
Looks like butter to me Flossie. MMMMM. I had some aspargus spears and a globe artichoke to start this evening, followed by a salad of mixed leaves, freshly pulled radish, freshly pulled spring onion, followed by roasted rhubarb with honey. YUMSKY! How much would that lot have set you back if you had nipped to the supermarket to buy it?
Yes, Emma - melted butter. The 'dipping sauce'!!
Wow Tim, that looks scrumptious!!!
Not in the same league, I know, but this evening we enjoyed our first lottie salad this year, including rocket, lolla rosso, salad bowl, basil and coriander. I used freshly picked mint to garnish the new potatoes (supermarket.......not quite there yet) followed by 'scrumped' rhubarb (from an abandoned plot - our shoots are only 4cm high).
Yummmmmmmmmy!!!!!
Tim that looks absolutely delicious!!!
We don't have an asparagus bed yet (there are still too many perennial weeds) but I hope to start one when we have banished all the couch and bindweed from enough of an area.
I am licking my lips looking at that piccy!
