Foraging forumagers

ok

How about, 'Passover some of that lovely Cider apple butter.'
Eh? Eh?

You can still do batter than that ...

Pow!

That last joke was crepe, Julia...

I've been waiting thirteen hours for that...

stop waffling on and dig out some decent puns from your treasure shrove ...

Can't stop thinkin' 'bout crawfish... I must go out and bag some this year...

You must bag them while singing this ...

One of the most satisfying things to catch, in my opinion.

Let's make trapping them bicycle related!

This method is also otter friendly. If otters are prevalent in your local waterway, there is a chance of them getting caught in conventional crayfish traps.

Joe - was it you that mentioned a foraging GoogleMap for S. London?

Oh, and if you keep your crayfish in a bucket of river water for over 24 hours I shouldn't worry too muck about removing the 'vein' down the back - they will be 'purged' by then. Longer than 36 hours and the crayfish start to die.

Ugh, can we get back to berries and apples ...

There's this one but I remember another better one knocking around too... Snowy will know...

Ace! thanks.

You don't like crayfish, Julia??

For summer....

I think they're great ... to watch at the bottom of a quarry in Leicestershire. Keeps the entertainment value up while you're trying to hold down some floating dive trainees ...

Ach ... "Give over" ... as my Grandfather used to say in his broadest Lancastrian.

I'm DEFINITELY doing that with my next haul.

Right up my street, that.

I thought it'd be more like 'girrover!'

He did pronounce the 'v' though, it was probably more like "giv_oooooooooov'a"

Oh marmalade - never even considered that. Well that's Sunday afternoon sorted! Thanks

I made a rhubarb chilli and ginger marmalade last year.

Nice on toast, lovely as a glaze on a baked ham!

I'm just trying my Quince Cheese for the first time ... mmmm (with Manchego). Granted, they weren't foraged, but it's practise ...
