A name for Ben Davis. A large variety of eating apple with a yellow and deep red marbled skin having yellowish-white flesh but little flavour. It is a well known southern apple, probably raised in Tennessee, Kentucky or Virginia around 1800. May also be used for culinary purposes. It is a late-season variety, picked from mid-October in South-East England. It keeps well and mellows on storage and is at its best from December to March.
The funnel chanterelle is a type of mushroom. (If gathering mushrooms you must be absolutely certain what you have before you eat them as many are very poisonous.)
A tough apple from New Zealand raised around 1934 by Mr J Hutton Kidd in Greytown, Wairarapa Valley. It is a cross between Kidd's Orange Red and Golden Delicious. It is crisp, sweet and juicy with slightly yellow flesh. It is yellow flushed with a light, bright red or orange with bold red stripes and is sometimes slightly russeted, being slightly conical in shape. It is increasingly grown in South-East England and is picked from September to October and stores well until February. Royal Gala is bright red overall, while Gala is more orange in hue.
Galangale is the rhizome of a plant of the ginger family, although it is smaller and more shrivelled. It has more translucent, flesh-coloured skin than the rhizome of ginger. It is peeled and grated or thinly sliced and used in the same way that fresh ginger is used, but has a slightly more complex flavour reminiscent of camphor. Greater galangal resembles a cross between ginger and pepper; lesser galangal is more pungent, with cardamom and eucalyptus flavours, whilst kempferia is the strongest.
