Smelly wee season is nearly here......

[EcclesCake]

I try to be good and only eat vegetables that are in season but I have weakened. I've bought some Spanish asparagus that I'm going to eat with Hollandaise sauce for my supper this evening.

I can't wait for the English season to begin, I'll be eating 2-3 times a week.

Do you look forward to a fruit or veg coming into season?

[shoota]

I really enjoy the Roast Potato season - fortunately it goes on for quite a while!

jersey royals steamed with butter - Ahh.......

[Nibble]

I'll stand downwind of you then, EC.... ;-)

Ooops sorry.. misread OP......

Kentish Victoria Plums (yum)

[LoftyLottie]

Jersey Royals for me too.

[EcclesCake]

You just can't beat the anticipation of your favourite foods coming into season and that first mouthful is heavenly.

I really do think it makes you appreciate the quality of the produce when you wait for it.

Who on earth wants to eat bland strawberries in December, wait for the summer and enjoy them at their best.

[EvianBaby]

Eccles, you really need to eat more than 3 meals a week! :)

Oooh Eccles - I really can't wait for the sparrow-grass to be here. A farm up the road sells it straight from the farm gate and it can go from "field to dave" in a matter of an hour or so :-)

The beauty of truly seasonal food is that you never tire of it - by the time I've run out of ideas for asparagus, the season is done & my enthusiasm can rebuild gently through the next 8 or 9 months.

I know that I'll just have the first bunches steamed with some good butter. After that I have a wonderful recipe for pasta with asparagus, soured cream and hot-smoked salmon. Or a similar idea with creme fraiche & leeks.

I was in Austria at end of April last year - their Spargel season. It is rather a different beast (big & white) but I had some excellent pizzas and nudeln dishes using it.

Can we include Lamb on this thread ?

[EcclesCake]

You get smelly wee when you eat lamb???

[joggerjayne]

LOL ... no, but it comes into season.

[whiskeryron]

[Nibble]

sparrowgrass - goes straight through in the wee department

[joggerjayne]

Asparagus

[joggerjayne]

I'm never sure if my wee is smelly.

It's hard to tell because of all the chlorine.

[sunny-dave]

Close your mouth whilst swimming then .... ;)

[joggerjayne]

Dave ... I'm glad you got the gag. After I'd clicked "Submit", I decided it was a bit crap.

[woofgang]

asparagus, jersey royals, English raspberries, English apples, chestnuts

[shoota]

You're a naughty girl.......but I like you!
Stand and deliver...

[Prudie]

Not any veg but i do look forward to english strawberries, sprinked with sugar and a disgustingly huge blob of extra thick double cream.

[whiskeryron]

JJ I can understand the weeing at Brighton Baffs but a bit crap purleaze!!
