Harvest time

All the fruits are ready and the little burst of sunshine and high temperatures have really sweetened it up so picking is  about due. Some of the early little windfalls were peeled and bottled as can be seen earlier in the blog and now I see that the cheffy celebs are all on the great British revival theme http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00zjc5p ?Well I Agree for a change! I am usually Mr Grumpy as regards to Cheffy Bandwagons having worked in every aspect of the industry---I am often to be heard shouting "Bullshite" at the telly--But not this time! British food was always great! its just been sleeping for a while as the awful fastfooders condition the next generation into thinking that theirs is the only way! Theres that shout again!!!
I was telling a person in the supermarket only the other day that they dont have to pay 45p for a tin of greed dyed "Mushy" peas , Buy a big bag of dried marrowfats and soak them in a little bi-carb laced water overnight then gently simmer . I saw her a week later she was absoloutely delighted that her family thought her "New Peas" were great--and There were tons of them for just 65p!!!! Imagine??
