I'd read people elsewhere championing these.

Locally we get samphire (glasswort) which is droolworthy a bit like saline asparagus, but has a rather short season.

I discovered our Organic Shop does various sea vegetables in the Japanese section and have been trialling various things, mostly successfully so far. Not cheap, but tasty, a little goes a long way.

This post was one that made me go look for them

Excellent!

And very timely, after many years of successfully fighting to keep Tescos out, a local town has just had a new Waitrose open. Next time I am in the area I intend to check it out. We had them where I used to work, and live: along with Sainsburys and Safeway (later Morrisons) they were far higher quality and not much more expensive. Here we still have Co-Ops - and lots of real local shops, and from what I've been told by people who've gone there this will be a worthy alternative.
 
Trink, have you ever tasted Welsh Laverbread? Traditionally served with cockles, it's full of essential vitamins and minerals.

Unfortunately, however good for you it might be, it looks, smells and tastes absolutely disgusting; a bit like sloppy spinach coloured with tarmac and seasoned with rotten fish.

Yuck!

You can keep your sea vegetables and I'll gladly slide my portion onto your plate while you're not looking.

:mrgreen:
 
Hey thirsty. I'm with you on this. Sounds disgusting. As for the smell......, just give me a nice piece of fish anyday with a decent above ground salad. I'll stick to swimming and looking at the nice rock pools.

Yes, when I was in Wales. But then I'm weird, I also like Haggis . . .
