a bag of mint
2 small yellow squash

No bread, no eggs, no pea greens. On the other hand, gooseberries! Fascinating! Have not eaten any yet.

I read this muttering "Fool!", but that might be misunderstood...

rushthatspeaks, if you stew your gooseberries to a pulp with sugar - not too much, you can always add more - and just enough water to melt the sugar, then let them cool, mash them up with a fork or push them through a sieve (your choice, both are good) and mix them with whipped cream, you have gooseberry fool, which is to my mind what gooseberries are for.

Also good in upside-down cake. And the French eat them with mackerel.
