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 ! Waltjnr yea think its just that weather conditions are just right, it's been a bumper year for fungi, apples and nuts. Think it's nearly over for most fungi as the frost is not far away, it was white here on Wednesday. Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Arry No they grow well all over the Midlands and I know many places where to find them , where I am in Yorkshire it is all Limestone close to the surface and I think it deters both Rabbits and Blewitts thriving Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The poached egg thing I understand never seems right to me to have one with smoked haddock or kippers. Cheers Arry Massive over her in Spain.. each coastal place has their own versions, it's simply seafood soup. Cockles, clams, razorclams anything they can get their hands on. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But would def give that a go. Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Arry I have the choice here of fresh in the shell or cooked and in a bag like the old fishmongers used to have... all from Blighty... how's that for a fuucking travesty To add; you can get local picked here but they'll cost you more than you would care to pay.

Arry 18,498 Posted October 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 Well out ferreting the other day came across a Black Walnut tree with loads of nuts fallen and still on the tree. Well they have a green husk that quickly goes black as it's full of tanning and other shit, well read up on it and you have to remove the husk. Did this and just blasted them with a power washer but Lol you see my hands, they are stained to f**k looks like I have frost bite. They are very different looking than an English walnut, hope they taste nice after all this trouble. If any body knows a good way to remove the stain please tell. On line it said Lemon juice and salt, well that was as much use as a chocolate tea pot. Lol. Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It must be some chemical reaction with the tanning or other stuff in the husk sap. Quite shocking I was not ready for that. Cheers Arry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
