I have just had a takeaway roast dinner. They proclaimed seasonal veg. What would you call seasonal for summer? Tender stem broccoli - okay, carrots - a veg for all seasons, swede - more of a winter offering but okay. Then my nemesis - PARSNIPS - definitely a winter veg (and something I hate). The problem with the dreaded things is they tend to flavour everything they come into contact with.

Courgettes (zuchini) - now that's a summer veg. And what about sweetcorn? Peas are always suitable. Aubergines(eggplant) maybe? What would you consider summer veg? Do you have something you absolutely can't stand? That's the problem when you have difficulty cooking for yourself, other people don't necessarily share your taste.

I still have a lot of leftover veg (once I've disposed of the dreaded parsnips) so I'm thinking of bubble and squeak. A couple of fried eggs with it. Probably indigestion will follow but hey ho! I used to love really spicy food but my aging stomach can't take it any more. Even steamed fish and mash can upset me these days.
