New Season's Veg!

You should visit a supermarket more often. Waitrose has it almost year-round now, and it's often British.

Pop my location into their "store finder" and weep.

You don't mean that shrink wrapped "tenderstem" stuff, do you? There's something not quite right about that.

Not half as much as from mine. My closest is 81 miles away

Call me picky, but isn't the true PSB season rather more wintry than springy?

I would say it is early springy although you can harvest it later depending when you sow it.

Apart from being very healthy and delicious it's always one of the earliest really tasty seasonal things of the year for me

Asparagus season in swing here too, but it's the white etiolated stuff. Tastes alright, but prefer green.

No - tenderstem is pretty vacuous. I mean proper PSB. It was "discovered" a couple of years ago.

There are many good things about working and living in the way I do. Having easy access to top-notch fresh food is not one of them.

etiolated is one of my fave words, DP. Thankyou.

I'm a purple broc sort of chap. It's got an ozoney kick to it that the green lacks

A nice thread this. A good reminder to buy local/seasonally. Bought a big bag of broad beans in their pods and made a kookoo today. Yumto!

Think we failed on seasonal veg today by having a bucket load of curly kale for lunch, think it might have come from those GM bastards Saino's - in my defence I didn't buy it so I can plead ignorance (and who'd argue with that?). Bloody tasty though.

One of those green omelette thingies? The broad beans at the greengrocer today were Italian, so I thought I'd wait for the local ones. Did get more asparagus though, and a mahoosive amount of PSB for 75p!

Yep! A sort of persian frittata - shed loads of dill and parsley. How do you cook all that PSB?

Yum! There's a shop next door to where I work that sells massive bunches of dill, so I will give it a go. On this occasion, I steamed the whole lot, had half of it with some chicken stew for dinner, and have dressed the other half with a bit of chilli, garlic and oil to have for lunch tomorrow with some olives and tomatoes...

Middle-class lunch preparation doesn't get tougher than this.
