What's newly in season where you are now?

First of the late crop King Edward potatoes. Still a bit small, but very nice.

And an excellent potato, in view of it being so floury, for making fishcakes, billy: mine comprise 80% fish and 20% potato.

*19.... Brilliant ! !

Superb.
They're usually a lot better (the late crop) around Christmas when much bigger.
However, my village greengrocer has just got a few loose'ns delivered, so I bought 5 or 6.
Very nice. I roasted a couple of them tonight (cut in half) to compliment pork fillet medallions.
Such a lovely potato.
However, disaster in Cuisine battybilly tonight also....
My freezer packed up sometime over the last 24 hours.
All my home made stock cubes had defrosted.... 100's of them, along with some fine meats.
Bug**r.

The only new things I remember in the last two weeks are the prune plums that nutrax mentioned and grapes. There may also have been some new breeds of apples. I don't look at apples when peaches and plums and melons and grapes and figs are in season, and the early apples aren't all that great. The first of the apples were over a month ago. No pears yet here.

Oh batty that's awful! We have to check our freezer every time the electricity goes out, we usually have to reset the plug.

Pears have been in season here for about a month, although it's now peaking--at least for Bartletts and Bosc. Others will peak later.

Asian pears--which are rather crispy--are at mid-season. They store well. Sometimes called apple pears, because they are round, not pear-shaped, and are crisp like apples.

the early apples aren't all that great.

Someday I'll have to figure out how to get you some Gravensteins.

Crispy but flavorless, if you ask me, those Asian pears.

I've had Gravensteins, in Austria. They don't grow around here.

Asian pears don't have a lot of flavor but they are refreshing and a good palate cleanser.

The pears that grow in our garden have been finished for a couple of weeks now, but at the market there are various kinds that are just starting and others that will continue until winter.

Still lots of peaches, melons, nectarines and plums at the market, but the newer fruits are mostly figs and grapes. Fewer sellers have figs because they are so fragile and don't keep well, so only a few producers sell them.

Our local market is made up of people who grow their own produce and others who buy from either local producers or bigger warehouses and resell.

There is a pear tree on public land in my neighborhood, but every year people pick them long before they a capable of becoming good and ripe. And then I suppose throw them out after they get soft but not really ripe. Annoying.
