This Weeks Oddity!
Celtuce is a vegetable that is new to me. The part that you eat is the stem and it tastes like asparagus. Find out more at WR810 in the vegetables, various, section.

Falling Food Prices!
Not the headline you expect, but Nigel tells me that 15 vegetable prices were lower this week than last. So it pays to eat what is plentiful and in season.

Now There´s a Good Idea
A bag of wholesome ingredients for making date and apricot slices, a sort of tropical flapjack!
Just add honey and butter to make 10 delicious and healthy Date and Apricot Slices.
This is a very quick and easy way to do some baking for the busy person.
Equaly suitable for getting the children to do something in the kitchen and get them away from the computer screen.
The bag contains Dates, Apricots, Jumbo Oats, Self-raising flour and Demerara Sugar. Full, clear and simple instructions on the bag. Five month shelf life. QM035

More from Olive Farm
Dave Paul´s unpasteurised Guernsey milk continues to be popular and he has now added fruited yogurts and fruit smoothies to his range. They are absolutely delicious and worth a try.

Thanks for the Praise
"Very much enjoyed our first order last week, food tasty and delivery first class".
