NOTES ON SEASONALITY
-
The seasons marked correspond to local (i.e. UK) produce where appropriate. For foods not originating in the UK but grown elsewhere in Europe (e.g. oranges and kiwi fruit), the seasons indicated correspond to produce from Europe rather than farther afield.
-
Seasons for fish and game apply to wild rather than farmed food.
-
Seasons for individual foods are marked as follows:
unavailable
or not peak season
may

season
-
Climatic variations mean that food seasons can be shorter, longer, earlier or later than indicated - use this site as a prompt, then go and sniff out what's available to buy.
