FIRST JERSEY ROYALS!!!

[AnonymousBird]

Have just arrived with my delivery.

Deepest deepest joy.

Can't decide what to have with them. Had forgotten I'd ordered them!

Dribbles Looks at butter dish...

Well, I did wonder about "just" butter, but figured I should have something else on the plate too....

I only buy them about 3 times each spring, can't justify the cost really, but oh such a treat!!!

Ooh lovely! How have I not seen these?

I will demand ask that DH source some ready for when I get home from hospital next week

Butter, salt and black pepper are the only other things that need to be on the plate. Yum, yum, yum.

Well? What did you have with them? Share!

I am SOOOOO jealous. Can't get them here. Over in two weeks and will be buying several kilos to bring back and eat nothing but in any which way.

My favourite way is steamed with mint and then half a pound a small knob of butter and malden salt. Bahhhhhhhh I want them NOW.

yum, what with living in Jersey we have had them twice this weekend But was a bit miffed that Waitrose had the first ones, so had to shop there to get them rather than the local farm shop. At the mo Jersey is covered in plastic, which is what they use to keep the potatoes warm until they are ready to dig. Tis quite beautiful. I LOVE Jersey Royals season

Funnys how about a two week house swap this time of year EVERY year for life!!! My ex mother in law lived in Jersey until a couple of years ago and while we were not exactly chummy, a trip to see her at Easter was always part of my planning so I could pig eat several of the little gems. Oh I miss them SO much.

Had them with masses of butter and salt and pepper alongside my roast chicken.. DS was that I had only done half quantity of roasties, but DD stuffed them down (the ones I didn't get first of course!)

Very very nice.

Rare treat though at these prices, sadly!

Hmmm Boos it depends where you live..........if it's the south of France then you're on

funnys - about another 800m south from there....howdat?
