Rick Stein mentioned it in one of his programmes, so if you can get hold of one of his books it may have details. If it's what I think it is - and I may have got it totally wrong - it's grown in Norfolk (up by Sandringham), and is now fetching inflated prices in places like London - but basically is a wild crop up by the sea there. Prince likes it. As I say - I might be talking about something completely different, and, if so, just ignore my ramblings :-) Debbie Slater Perth, WA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly doesn't *look* like asparagus, more like a bright green seaweed and tastes SO salty. My Filipino help (and mum's nurse) said that I'll never get the salt out no matter now much I soak it. Maybe I'll boil it for a short time and serve it like asparagus. It's way too salty for my tastes to eat raw. Don't think I'll be buying it again ! Ruthie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
