We went to Rhosilli bay today hoping to dig some razor clams. Alas, no joy! Does anyone know where to find these elusive clams? There are loads of shells on the beach, so they must be somewhere, but where? Anyone??

Hi,
I’m often found camping in the Gower and ama massive fan of collecting my own seafood.
I don’t know the area too wel though and there seems to be little information available on god locations for collecting particular types of shellfish. It’s good to know about Worms head as a potential spot.
This year I’ll be in Tenby, and thought I might try the secluded beaches south of Merrion, have you or anyone else got experience there?

Boston Tea Party(Park Street) food not as good as it used to, and I’ve been eating there/drinking their coffee (which is still fab) since they opened. Recently had a really duff meal, wrote to Manager to complain but had no response. With so many good places to eat in Bristol, BTP shouldn’t become complacent. Shame.

Just cooked this tonight as my first homemade curry – was really delicious! I used 2 green chillies but I think one would be better – it seemed to overpower the other flavours a little, even though I enjoy the hotness!

It really looks great when you see the ghee rise and it’s all bubbling away.

Was the inauguration of our new blender too – a fitting maiden dish for it.

Does anyone know a course I could take to learn about photographing food?

[...] high quality Mexican hot chocolate. I’m also keen to try PieMinster. Both places are reviewed here, along with a whole lot more interesting Bristol [...]

Looks very exciting, I’m a big fan of chestnuts and have a pheasant waiting for me in the freezer which I haven’t worked out what to do with yet.

At first glance this recipe looks a little Christmassy. I felt it was worth posting in the run up to Easter – you might want to try making some stuffing for the Easter Sunday; those cheeky vacuum packed and tinned chestnuts are available all year around.

Hi Wendy,
In truth, we did struggle to find the razor clams. We targetted any of the little holes and piles of sand pushed up out of them down on the beach. We got out some little clams but failed miserably with the Razor Clams, hence we went for Mussels instead – can’t miss them!
Apparently mixing up salt solution in squeezy bottles work best, then you just spray it around. The River Cottage Fish book is a good place to look for some info.
Good luck – let us know how you get on!
Paul

All Park, my point with veggie food is that there are still few veggie options that aren’t largely made up of cheese. I wish most places just had a good selection of veggie options rather than the odd dish, generally you need to go to specialist veggie/vegan restaurants for decent options. I think I’ve covered all the main options I know in the centre, I hope I’ve yet to discover some. I’ve yet to check Cafe Kino out, slightly too much of a walk.

HaBumhug, nice name. No, I’ve past Maximillions a few times and never made it in then. I’ll check it out though if you rate it that highlight. Pieminister was in my top 10
