A quick blanch in boiling water took away the overwhelming saltiness, leaving a crisp green veggie with a slight salty kick! Highly recommended, especially if you can forage your own!

Have you ever read The Omnivore's Dilemma? A great book, and it also touches on this topic! Aside from that, your rolls look great and I was also excited to see your crispy leeks! Now you have me craving both shrimp AND sushi. ;) I also agree with you and Chef Dennis as it pertains to philosophies about knowing where your food comes from (and on occasion having to kill it).

I feel a little "meat heavy" on this blog sometimes, so I'm glad to know it still keeps your interest. I have a rep for telling it like it is, and I'm afraid it's a familial trait that will be with me 'til the end of my days...thanks again for following! Thanks so much Marti!

OK, I'm vegetarian (vegan in fact) but follow your blog because I love the local food information. I absolutely have to agree with your statement (at least in part) that if you're GOING to eat animals sometimes you need to kill your own. Not that I would enjoy it in any way, but that's just me, I think people need to know where everything on their plate comes from, how it got there and how it died. Less people would probably eat prawns if they had to rip the heads off themselves, (or if they had to harvest the wheat to make their own bread for that matter) but those that did would have a much better understanding of their food. It's not just something from a box on a supermarket shelf and I admire you for showing (and telling) people exactly where things come from. (Whether they're always things I would eat or not!) Nice!!!
