An entire meal from the garden.

You all seem to be such proficient chefs. Well here is a place to share some of that cooking knowledge. Or do you have a cooking problem? Ask away. Jams and chutneys go here too.

Fantastic Richie.

We're on home grown salad but that's pretty much it as yet. But with mayo made from my neighbour's duck eggs it tastes mighty good.

forgot the broccoli raab we're having for dinner!

Well done you,sounds lovely.Hopefully will be doing the same in a couple of weeks (apart from the pigeon). We've had a lot of cold windy weather here in Pembrokeshire,so most things on my allotment are sulking.

:mrgreen: - it's a great feeling isn't it. I've had lots of those. Not so many this year yet but am more-or-less having one tonight, - with venison from a road-kill deer that I picked up in the autumn. Swift potatoes, carrots out of the tunnel, and rainbow chard from outside. Strawberries to follow. - Oh, and home-made wine too of course :mrgreen: :cheers:

I can hear Duelling banjoes :shock: - I thought Dorset was such a nice place - does everyone have a loaded weapon at hand to shoot things that annoy them? :lol: :lol: :lol:

The Sikh religion says you can eat meat if you kill it yourself. I'd rather eat a pigeon, rabbit or even a grey squirrel than a fatted calf.
