Lettuce leaves 'wilted' in a little butter and then wrapped around peas,
finely sliced carrots etc. make a delicious and unusual veg option.

Don't forget to wrap it in a pancake, seal the edges with batter, and
give it a bit of a frying in olive oil...

No, no, that's too much like *cooking*. ;-)

That induced a flash of memory - a Polish au pair we had in the '50s -
her idea of a stonking good meal was to buy a couple of pounds of mince,
blanch some cabbage leaves, wrap a balls of mince in them and tie them
up with string (or usually, because it was more easily found in our
house, cotton thread) and boil them, to be served with boiled
potatoes...

Well, while we're talking food, I always wish that we could buy courgette
flowers in this country and treat them in the Italian fashion. We don't
grow our own, so I can't get hold of any. It's one of my favourite Italian
foods in all its varieties.
