It has always surprised me that one cannot buy products such as these from shops and delis alike. I love em and a real treat there are. I have designed a number of different recipes for a white sausage and this variety is just one of.
Mushroom season is upon us and i love giant puffballs to eat, being so versatile as they are. It still Surprises me though so few English people know what they are and what possibilities they hold
