Wild

KB Community annual Wild Food Gathering was held last Saturday at the home of a neighbour-ish.  Despite it being a short walk away we had the drive to avoid having Scully walk too and gate-crash the feast.

I felt mean. However her family didn't attend so she should have been at home anyway.

Rules for contribution are simple, if slightly controversial. The food has to be hunted, caught (as in fishing), foraged, grown in your own garden or stolen from a neighbour.  Pumpkin harvest having been plentiful this year, I opted to make a baked fondue in one of our home grown pumpkins.

Said pumpkin was chosen to fit in the Ozpig and while it was baking we poked a big pile of gorse through our new chipper/shredder thing.

Other offerings included Goat Curry, Wild Pork in pies, Venison Lasagne, Cockles mornay in Yorkshire Puddings, Ceviche, fish cakes, fish pie, and a stew based on corn,  Desserts focussed on berry fruit and rhubarb.  

Going back for seconds...

Everyone ate well. The weather played along with sunshine and no wind. Conversation flowed. View was fabulous. Hosts were charming.

Chatting with local ceramacist and her OH - great views across the bay in the background.
