And now for something completely different!

To Low Sizergh
Barn first and some biltong - made in Cumbria, not South Africa. This
particular version of the famous dried meat strips comes courtesy of
Barry Shaw at Carlisle who also makes Low Sizergh's range of salamis
(£2.60 each) and chorizo (£3.99 each).
It seems that the biltong (£3.90 per strip) has replaced Kendal mintcake
as a high protein food source for walkers because of its portability
and energy-boosting abilities.
Still with unusual international ingredients ... thanks to Jamie
Oliver's new television series for Channel 4 which sees him 'doing'
various countries, including Morocco, preserved lemons are very much in
demand at Baba Ganoush in Kendal.
A staple in all North African dishes, the lemons are especially good in
lamb tagines and with chicken (£5.99 per 680g jar).
Alternatively, if 'Greek passion' is more your bag, Greenlands Farm
Village at Tewittfield is doing chicken breasts stuffed with Sandhams
Tasty Lancashire cheese, Greek passion sauce, and wrapped in smoked
bacon (£2.99 each).
For something different on the fish front, Kendal Fisheries has wild
grey mullet (caught off the Isle of Man) which fshmonger Nik Stirzaker
says you can either barbecue (we live in hope!) or bake in the oven with
white wine, shallots, and garlic. Each fish weighs an average one kilo
plus, and costg £5.99.
And talking of barbecues ... butcher Stuart Higginson from
Grange-over-Sands recommends two cuts of 'all weather' beef skirt - the
thin end to casserole in the oven or a slow cooker if its raining (£7.99
per kilo); or the much thicker, larder-trimmed end of the skirt, the
award-winning steak onglet, to cook on the barbie, on special offer at
£12.99 per kilo.
Simply drizzle with olive oil and lots of freshly ground black pepper
prior to cooking (great for the George Formby as well as the bbq!).
Three other great meat special offers this week come courtesy of butcher
Brian Jackson from Templand Farm at Allithwaite who is doing Aberdeen
Angus sirloin steaks at two for a fiver (its Brian's own beef); and
Peter Hutchinson from Greenodd who is selling whole legs of his
own-raised Suffolk cross lambs for £8.50 per kilo.
Peter will cut the whole legs as you want - for example, boned and
rolled they will make two super joints; or cut to give two joints and
four leg steaks off the chump.
While Watson & Woollard in Kendal are doing gammon joints at £7.85
per kilo.
And finally for this week's glorious sweet treats ... we have new
Witherslack Toffee made with butter and sugar and only on sale at the
Witherslack Community Shop (by the Derby Arms, just off the A590); the
toffee costs 70p per 100g.
And at Hazelemere Bakery in Grange check out the scrumptious wheat-free
chocolate and orange cake made with ground almonds, eggs, Jaffa oranges,
double cream and Belgian chocolate drops, and coated in chocolate
vermicelli (£1.55 per slice).
