I met a supplier called Miles this morning who has set up a great business selling wild, foraged foods.  He had a great range of seaweeds, wild garlic, sorrell and two sorts of samphire to show us.  Mark took a selection to try on tonight’s menu and I’m really looking forward to seeing what it is like. 

Some of it will be a salad or a vegetable part of the dish and others will just be for garnishing but it is really exciting to see these things on the menu.  Using local and sustainable produce is quite rightly all the rage at the moment and it is good for us to be able to play our part.

 Have a look at Miles’ web site to see what he sells http://mileslavers.googlepages.com/ towards the bottom are some thoughts and ideas about wild foods and then a couple of meat recipes, don’t worry - we’re not going this far!

I’ll let you know what the leaves are like later in the week.
