Seaweed is everywhere on the Wild Atlantic coast and, let’s face it, where there’s a coastline anywhere in the world, you will find this precious treasure! Don’t be fooled by it’s somewhat derogatory and useless sounding ‘weed’ name. Seaweed, in it’s many forms and varieties, is a bounty and most certainly not useless to us humans. More traditional coastal cultures know this all too well and include seaweed in the diet, apply it topically on the skin and even use it as fertiliser for ‘land’ vegetables.
Certain foods we take for granted. I think apples are one of those. Have any of us ever known a time without apples in the fruit bowl? Let’s face it, often apples were the fruit bowl, certainly when I was growing up. Apple tart, crumble, stewed apple and so much more came from the transformation of ‘eating’ apples, or those sour but precious ‘cooking’ apples, into desserts that predated brownies, muffins, and energy balls but, I like to think, those apple classics are still going strong!
