A large, originally Japanese apple called Mutsu, with greenish golden skin sometimes flushed with orange, a cross between Golden Delicious and Indo, since 1948. It gained its English name in 1968. It has crisp, firm white flesh, agreeably tart, and they store well. It is a triploid, which means that it is a poor pollinator and is a late-season apple, harvested from mid-October in South-East England and is at its best from December to February. When cooked it retains its shape but is most useful in salads.
Crispy seaweed in British supermarkets is generally actually shredded spring cabbage, vegetable oil and flaked almonds.
An all-purpose variety of apple with yellowish-green skin with a distinctive reddish-pink blush and tart, juicy flesh. It was found by Francis Cites at Parker Heights Nursery in Washington State in 1968. It freezes well and keeps well and is a heavy producer. Probably a cross between Red and Golden Delicious this is a late-season variety picked from mid-October in the United States and is at its best from November to January.
The male fish is able to make a croaking noise, hence its name. It is a curvaceous but rather dull fish of the same family as the drum, meagre and ombrine.
Cromer, in the north of Norfolk, on the cold waters of the North Sea, is where the Cromer crab, a small brown crab, is named for. Around May they are their very best, succulent and sweet. It is the edible brown crab, common in British waters, but are subject to smaller Minimum Landing Sizes, at 115 mm (4.5 in), rather than the 140 mm (5.5 in) dictated in most the of the range. It is illegal to land female crabs in berry and it is felt that the edible brown crab is probably overfished in British waters, though most are exported live to France and Spain.
