Pickled Sea Sandwort

If you listen to some authors of wild food cookbooks regarding Sea Sandwort recipes (Honckenya peploides), you’d be forgiven for never wanting to try it.

I don’t bother listening to others opinions, which is why I don’t read newspapers or watch TV!

I want to experience the world myself, directly, not second-hand via some ‘authorities’ prejudiced world-view.

Which is why this sea sandwort recipe turned out pretty funky (obviously that’s my opinion). Just make sure your friends share it, because you will be honking of garlic for a fare few hours!
