Tom Dodds on transport matters »Locally-produced fresh fruit is difficult to find at this time of year.
There are still a few late pear varieties around and although not strictly a fruit, forced rhubarb is available in many outlets.
There are many more vegetables about however, mainly leaf and root, which are perfect for warming winter casseroles and stews.
I quite often prep them and pop them in the pot before we go to work although I still have yet to purchase a slow cooker.
As for meat there is still plenty of game about (wild and farmed) - with goose, hare, partridge, pheasant and venison readily available, while at the fishmongers, scallops and cockles make a return.
