Whilst trying to recognise a tree at work, I came across this site.

http://www.eattheseasons.co.uk/index.htm

Being a fan of seasonal food rather than shipping it halfway across the world this site rather appealed to me and they have a food of the week on the home page.

For those interested I have this book Food For Free which is a handy sized guide for when your walking in the woods.  Elderberries are ripe at this time and make an evil wine, don’t try them raw !

The tree was a chestnut and I believe the nuts are edible, but I will know more about that when they ripen.
