Gourmet Britain

British strawberries are now in full flow, and as good as any in the world. Unforced rhubarb is also widely available. On the meat front, British Lamb is also at its peak, and a little cheaper - if you seek out lamb bred on salt marshes, it's a real treat, if handled simply. Lamb reared on these marshes, feeds on grasses and herbs that have absorbed the sea air which gives the meat a distinctive flavour.
Sea Trout should be sought out if spotted on fishmongers slabs, and with the extreme price demanded for wild salmon, it's a delicious treat - and even preferred by many people to the latter.
