   The most unexpectedly lovely thing I have ever made was elderflower fritters – just the flower heads dipped in a light batter and shallow-fried, then dredged with caster sugar and sprinkled with lemon juice. But I only made them once, more than half my lifetime ago now. I suspect the consistency of the batter is critical and I’ve no idea what recipe I used for it now.

   “Mike on the toilet” is becoming a worryingly common theme on this blog.

   By the way, here’s an elderflower recipe I meant to try since I first read it in the River Cottage Hedgerow book, but haven’t yet — Elderflower delight:

   If anyone’s trying this, just to be clear: normal screw-topped wine bottles will definitely explode so don’t use them! I use plastic soda water bottles.
