They source their own food, shooting their own game birds, fishing their sea catch, picking shellfish off rocks and strawberries in fields, short supply chain. I don't think they slaughter their own beef, but I expect they knew the cows by name. I like sourcing fruit and veg and honey more than animals.
And they break into song in medias res, Clarissa, the forner barrister, would approve the phrase. But here and there, though I wouldn't cook the food they love, they have great side ideas.
One is mustard butter, used for tiny sandwiches such as cucumber. Just mix softened butter with Dijon mustard. Always on whole wheat bread. And you can slice your bread thin if you soak your knife in hot water first. There, two tips right off.
Later I'll try to use up some cucumber this way, but meanwhile a little slice of home baked along with farm tomatoes and Dutch cheese, and an Asian pear from the farm made a great lunch today. No cooking, all assembly.
