Oysters

I had become so used to affordable 'rock' oysters that I was astonished to find real wild native oysters on sale at our local fisherman's shop. These were £1 each. Huge. Delicious too.

One had mud in it, so we discarded it.

But this is luxury, fresh, local, stone age, something to tell your grandchildren about if you can get it.

While we're about it, I must mention that we are still picking figs from the garden (24 November!). They are a bit small and a bit dry, but still very edible and sweet. The birds are going for the ones at the top of the tree every morning.
