Apart from the obvious fruits...apples, pears, plums, blackberries etc. I wouldn't
chance my arm picking anything for tea without either expert guidance or
maybe one of the many books available.
You need to tag along with Ray Mears or Jamie Oliver.

Could ruin a holiday with self inflicted trots....or worse!
