Responchous or responchons the French are out collecting, they look a bit like asparagus tips but taste foul when cooked. Now we are always told by French friends that it is because we do not know how to cook them. Gill Catterall came up with a good recipe a couple of years ago.
Boil them in water for a few minutes, then drain them, throw the water down the sink and the responchons " in the bin" We are told that they are a good purge for the system after the winter.
Let' s put it this way when we see collectors in our hedges we say " help yourselves, enjoy"
Malc says we should pick them for the donkeys... they love them, but they are French.
