I was a bit dubious at the whole trip to start with, but I was pleasantly suprised by the delicious food, the beautiful landscape, the fresh air and not forgetting the great company!

I'm reading Kate Colquhoun's book Taste at the moment (a history of British cooking) so was fascinating to see alexanders which she mentions as being popular in 18th century cookbooks, boiled and buttered. And now you've shown me what it looks like, I realise I've seen it growing - though I never have confidence to eat anything wild without permission, must have really heeded my mum's warnings when I was small! My neighbour (unfortunately she moved and we lost contact) used to pick chervil, and lots of other things, on a west London golfcourse. She made us a wild lunch once and I remember being impressed by how much she gleaned in urban surroundings.maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13955194101659665925noreply@blogger.com
