Lots of tasty berries adorning our bushes in Taypo

Lots of tasty berries adorning our bushes in Tayport this year but here’s one NOT to touch. The black berries shown here looking shiny and bright are Deadly Nightshade (Atropa belladonna) the clue being in the name. It’s poisonous and especially dangerous to children due to the attractive sheen and sweet taste of the berries. It’s growing at the Tayport end of the cycle path.

On Sunday [14 August] Jayson Byles of East Neuk Se

On Sunday [14 August] Jayson Byles of East Neuk Seaweed came to Tayport to share some of his encyclopaedic knowledge of the rich bounty of his encyclopaedic knowledge of the rich bounty of food that lies largely ignored on our Scottish beaches. We started at the Community Garden with an introduction to the subject from Jayson and then we walked to the beach behind Harbour Road. It was the day of the lowest tide of the year, so there was a vast intertidal area – which is exactly what is needed for the best harvests without the need for a wetsuit! We learned some good news and some bad news. The bad news was that it was probably not a good idea to harvest food from this beach because it is too exposed to pollution from the populated areas on the baks of the Tay. The good news was that there is a very healthy growth of sea grass on the beach. Jayson introduced us to a wide selection of species growing there, most of which make very tasty and nutritious food for humans. Just not if they are polluted.
But then we went back to the Garden, where Jayson produced a selection of the sea’s bounty that he had harvested the day before from beaches in the East Neuk, where pollution is minimal. Many of them were the same species we had just seen on our own beach. And with the help of the rocket stove he had brought with him, he cooked up a variety of dishes that were both a tasting session and a feast. It even included a dessert made with carrageen. We all enjoyed our marine lunch and felt inspired to go and harvest more of this wonderful food that is simply there for the taking.
