Tonights mystery vegetable... Samphire.
From the marshy coast of North Norfolk UK.
delicious with olive oil, lemon juice & garlic. We had it with grilled salmon & new potatoes.
Mmmmmmmmm.
"Half-way down
Hangs one that gathers samphire; dreadful trade!" Shakespeare, King Lear.
Shakespeare's samphire grew half way down a cliff. His is the rock samphire, Crithmum maritimum, but we ate marsh samphire, Salicornia europaea. Sometimes known as Glasswort.
