Arry 18,571 Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 Out foraging for Samphire today trying to find a local spot. I spotted some on the Camel estuary last week which gave me the idea. Well found loads I was amazed but bugger was it bloody hot and humid. Well chuffed with four Chinese container full just over half a kilo, just got to catch some fish now or it will be down to a boiled egg and using it for soldiers. Lol.

Steam some for two minutes in butter and lemon with bit of black pepper. Couple of Bass or Bream fillets would be spot on. Looks like you had a cracking day with the kids getting Lug.

Never heard of Cockle soup before but would defiantly give it a go. The poached egg thing I understand never seems right to me to have one with smoked haddock or kippers.

I've no idea about Chowder Micky. Just like my cockles in a bit of vinegar, salt, black pepper with a well buttered door step of fresh bread. Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arry 18,571 Posted August 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Out today after the Fungi, went to a spot that has a few Wild Plum trees. They are small a bit bigger than a Slow but taste the same as a Victoria Plum. I picked a Chinese container for the wife, I might have to go back they make lovely jam.

waltjnr 5,971 Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 Arry ,why do you reckon its such a good year for mushrooms ? Do they go in a cycle ,where you get a bumper crop one year ,then not so good the following? Or is it all just weather conditions? Im seeing them everywhere and in numbers !
