Well here we are in a brand-spanking new year, Grigsoners. I hope it is going okay for you so far and that it will continue to do so.
New years and decades mean we think of ways to improve ourselves and this year is no different for me. I have several things that I want to do, but the important one for the blog is to try and empty the cupboards and freezers of all the things I have in store – mallards, hares, bones and carcasses, spice mixes, herbs, cherries, dried apricots and goodness knows what else in the backs of the drawers. I keep buying things – I can’t help it – either in case I need them later, or have bought and used them once and never required them again. I shall report on this, natch.
Here’s my list of seasonal fruit, veg and game as per usual, this time for January of course. It's getting into the bleak midwinter now so the food shall be hearty.
Vegetables: Jerusalem artichokes, beetroot, Brussels tops and sprouts, cabbages, celery, chicory, endive, spring and winter greens, kale, leeks, onions, parsnips, potatoes, swede.
Fruit: pears, forced rhubarb.
Fungi and nuts: chestnuts.
Fish and shellfish: cockles, cod, crab, mussels, oysters, whiting.
Game: goose, hare, mallard, partridge, pheasant, rabbit, venison, woodpigeon.
