    The Quintessential Taste of Summer
    Okay, for me foods really connect the seasons so with that said, its not really summer until I have made either a blueberry or rhubarb pie - YUM! :p
    (And noooo its not really summer ALL THE TIME in Florida... we do actually have seasons here too ha ha)
    What's your must-have summer culinary connection, hmmmm? :cool:

    I agree with Philly - though I BBQ in the dead of winter (shovel path to BBQ on the deck) summer is the season to do it with a beer or glass of wine in hand.

    Sorry to be a bit boring but for me Summer hasn't arrived until we get our first English crop of NEW SPUDS!! ( Bugger the cholesterol - Pass the salty butter! ) :D

    I won't buy the Egyptian and Majorcan ones these days - I prefer to hang on for our own and get that first hit. ( Mind you - I am in Lincolnshire where the best spuds grow )

    You got the wrong spuds Val ;)

    These are little baby ones where the skins just about drop off on their own when rubbed under running water - boiled or steamed.

    Have them hot with fresh lamb and mint sauce and butter.

    Cold with salads - or deep fried.

    I think we're spoiled these days with foods being grown all over the world - but these last few years I've noticed that if I don't bother with the imported ones - that flavour from the locally grown (probably less than 24 hours out of the ground) takes me straight back to childhood.

    Russian finger potatoes rolled in garlic olive oil & lightly salted cooked on the grill... I am truly ready for another BBQ and it is only the day after the 4th.
    Hanging onto the anticipation of corn on the cob and watermelon. Goodness
