Went out on a local river last weekend and collected some cockles & mussels - first time I'd eaten cockles the biggest of which were a couple of inches across, they were proper loverly ;) . Cooked them all over the fire in butter & garlic cream cheese :rolleyes:
Yummy...

The wild garlic is coming through so I had a munch on that. Going to dig a bit up and plant it on the allotment.

Aiye, thats right Loz (many happy returns BTW ;)) whilst garlicky they also have a strong spring onion flavour. Nice with cheese I reckon.

Make double sure that they are Ramsons Loz....there's a few types of Lillies that look very similar when young but are not for eating... Lilly of the Vally is one example.
Sorry if I'm teaching to suck eggs ;)

Indeed, but if you break or even bruise a leaf then you will know immediately by the smell right Bam?

Fresh greenstuffs and the first nettle soup, which was pretty but a little mild. I made it creamy using the milk from ground almonds, and added some of the dried Scotch marigold petals from last Summer instead of saffron.
