Tis the season to be jolly - no not that one! With that one you need to leap about beneath a pine tree and wish your biggest enemy peace and prosperity and pretend you mean every word. You must give luxurious and expensive gifts which you can't afford then end up fighting and arguing with everyone!
Alternatively, this is the season where you simply eat the product. I write of course of that great and wonderful tradition of the Jersey Royal Potato and that's only the first half, next we got that other marvellous seasonal tradition of Asparagus Tips, not one but two simple, affordable and enjoyable pleasures.
A plate of small Jersey Royals and a few lightly boiled Tips, with some consolation dish you would call "main course." Add music, a sunny evening and good company, how much better can life become?
