wow they're really expensive! Are they amazing in some way?
They are grown for showing the reason i am after some is my stock have all rotted off so need to source some more to build my stock up again
Holy heck! seven quid for 6 shallots? That's mad! I thought that the 4 quid or so that I spent buying 500g of Jermor shallots was steep this year! But I did get almost 4 kgs of shallots from those! and they store really well and have wonderful flavour. Shallots are very popular in French cooking and can be really expensive to buy...
Yes they're delicious, very sweet.
Did you manage to get the hative de niort that you wanted, colt?
Not yet cos am waiting to hear from show grower to see what his prices will be
