It’s not very often that we crave something cold, damp and dirty, but when the earthy fenland celery first appears on the shelves in late Autumn it is a real treat! Celery is very much an Italian vegetable having been grown there as a speciality over the centuries. It was regarded as a medicinal vegetable by both the Greeks and the Romans, even being used to crown athletes and interestingly for funeral wreaths.

season editor Glyn Williams reg-ales the day he went back-to-school. ‘Have a look at its colour, sniff the aroma, swirl it around the glass, take a good sip, move it over your tongue and palate, suck air in over the top, swallow it to get the full finish left behind’, ‘Mmmm… golden yellow on the eye… spicy flowery and aromatic on the nose… fruity and full bodied, its flavour goes on and on…’

Wine 14 November 2008
November is a month unmistakably heading for winter, but we can look forward to some fantastic warming meals and accompanying wines. If, in common with most of the population, much of the month is taken up by selecting thoughtful gifts for loved ones in preparation for Christmas, spare some time to enjoy some of the seasonal foods from our beautiful East Anglian countryside washed down with a fine wine.

Like all Mediterranean countries, Italy’s foodies know how to graze in style. For them to eat properly rarely entails fine dining and meals universally materialise without grandeur or pretension. They are confident in their culinary skill and know that the best seasonal ingredients need little gilding to be consumed at their best.

Sam Young is in piggy delight on a vist to the Butler family farm near Blythburgh, Suffolk. As soon as you meet the Butler family it is crystal clear their passion for all things piggy and by the time you leave their beautiful farm in Halesworth, close to the coastal delights of North East Suffolk, a little of this enthusiasm will definitely have rubbed off on you!
