Quite a while ago I planted some oca, and I recently harvested the tubers (technically probably stem rather than root tubers but I love alliteration).

I’m not sure if you can quaff a tankard of mead, but I’d much rather that, than boring ale.
So when I came across Gosnells Sparkling Mead, I got unreasonably excited and we ordered some straight away.
Marmite’s marketing is all about love and hate.
Admittedly it is a divisive spread. It doesn’t bring much in the looks department, the texture is form-holdingly sticky and the taste is an overwhelming shout. For all that, though, I neither love nor hate it. I quite like it, sometimes. Other times, I’m not that bothered.
However I have to congratulate them on their expansion into a plethora of products. Cheese, crackers, peanut butter, nuts, breakfast biscuits and now houmous.
It can’t be just me who has wondered why we only tend to cure pork products (in the UK at least). Why no beef bacon or lamb ham?
H has recently been buying meat online from Coombe Farm after a tip-off from a friend. They have some really interesting and unusual products and cuts, including Lamb Bacon.
