After a seemingly endless succession of tasteless figs, peaches, pears etc one starts to wonder if it’s worth bothering to keep trying. Today’s veggie box from Valvona & Crolla restored my optimism. The figs weren’t as pretty as the purple supermarket ones. They were green and a bit mushy. But they tasted sweet and figgy and were good enough to eat on their own without needing any culinary artifice. So I had a few like that. Then I had some more with prosciutto and a slice of Poilâne miche. And then a tiny espresso.
They sent some peaches too, but I haven’t tried them yet. Also peppers, aubergine, chillis, Scottish strawberries, chanterelles and tomatoes. There was some prosciutto, cheese, salami and olive oil too.
I’m feeling very contented.
