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...
2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France: http://roos-and-camembert.blogspot.com
