I've started this post with some of Alan and Mark Archer's delicious salt marsh lamb. The French would travel miles for such a delicacy, whereas many British people have never even tasted it:
Red Bank Farm is right on the coast, at Bolton Le Sands, with wonderful views across Morecambe Bay:
The lambs graze the salt marsh:
and graze the salt tolerant grasses and herbs, such as samphire, sparta grass, sorrel, sea lavender and thrift. It's no wonder it tastes so good!
The farm has also has a camping and caravan site, and a café where you can enjoy homemade cakes (baked with their own eggs) and their own salt marsh lamb.
You can also buy their lamb (it must be pre-ordered). Besides the lamb Henrys (pictured at the top of this post), we also had some of their lamb burgers.
I wouldn't dream of buying lamb burgers from a supermarket, but these were superb - and I know exactly what's in them!
