British-grown asparagus and strawberries are available now from Ocado. I only buy both when they're British so this is a big moment for us. The asparagus is incredibly expensive at the moment. I'm hoping it will be a bit cheaper in a week or two. The strawberries are almost certainly grown in polytunnels this early in the year, but we had them last night and enjoyed them. I always rinse and hull them, then cut them in half and sprinkle with a little sugar and leave them for a few minutes before we eat them.
Good reminder about tuna mayo. I have some tinned tuna in and it needs using up.
Simple things that are really lovely:
Almost anything you can make with eggs. Poached, fried, scrambled, soft-boiled, hard-boiled, omelettes, baked, all marvellous. Egg and chips is just wonderful, as long as the yolks are still runny. Needs plenty of salt, pepper and malt vinegar. Egg and cress sandwiches, mmmmm.
Beans on toast.
Baked potato with lots of butter.
Bread and butter.
Tomato sandwich - has to be eaten as soon as it's made or the bread goes soggy. Bread or roll, butter, sliced tomato, salt, pepper. Perfect on its own but obviously terrific with added cheese, chicken, ham or cold roast beef.
