"Cornish Tomatillo"
It's not an April fool chefs 👨‍🍳 👩‍🍳 it's Cornish and probably the best tomatillo I've ever eaten ♥️

Tomatillo is at the centre of Mexican 🇲🇽 cooking 😋
Although it looks like a tomato 🍅 it's quite different.
I'm lucky enough to try this morning's harvest. Super fresh, crunchy and a zesty kick 👌
Its a Cornish Wowser💥

I'm in Cornwall on holiday 😎 and met the lovely Maddie whilst visiting Truro's Farmers market 🚜 🐖 🍃 🌼

Once I heard that she is growing tomatillo on her family farm 🚜 I had to see this for myself 🍅 🍅 🍅

The farm is a total revelation 👏 👏 👏
Maddie grows what she loves 💖
from kale to corn flowers 💐 and everything in between.
No pesticides 👎 just harmony with nature ❤️

Morning Chefs!

A quick mid-month update:

🔹️We have just published a Special Weather Report for 2026. This is essential reading for our chefs as they forward plan for the months ahead. There are many implications - positive and negative - from the recent extreme heat and drought. See the link on bio and use your password to access The 100 Club area of the website. (Forgotten your password? Send us a DM).
🔹️Sollies black figs have started.
🔹️Plums are terrific: greengage, Mirabelle, Victoria, red-flesh Metis. Also peaches, nectarines, melons.
🔹️It will be tricky for some tomato growers as some plants dropped their flowers in the heat - this will delay production.
🔹️UK apples have started.
🔹️UK cobnuts, walnuts, red filberts.
🔹️UK squashes underway but smaller in size due to lack of rain.

"Pineapple W**d"
One for all you foragers this morning is pineapple 🍍 🍍 🍍 w**d 🍃

The flowers 🌼 when crushed have a pleasant citrusy aroma similar to pineapple and chamomile.

Now the flavour 🤔

Well the flowers are supposed to deliver a fruity hit of pineapple 🍍 mango 🥭 😉

I'm just not getting that at all 👎
Sharp 🔪 granny smith hit almost Szechuan bud.
If you know the flavour you know what I'm talking 👄 about 🤪

Pineapple w**d closely related to chamomile and in season now until October 👏
(if it survives the weather 🥵)
