I decided on roast breast of duck, served with the same potato terrine, some glazed parsnips and scorzonera. |

Skirret is cooked and eaten in the same ways as salsify and scorzonera. |
|
Guests will be intrigued by scorzonera, similar in some respects to salsify but even less seldom seen. |
|
For example, next spring I will grow scorzonera, a root vegetable that is supposed to be quite tasty. |
|
The Scorzonera is a genus belonging to the Asteraceae sunflower family which grows mainly in dry areas of Europe and Asia. |

And head gardener Roy Simkins said items also grown on the site include salsify, scorzonera, sprouts, calabrese, purple sprouting broccoli, kale and leaf beet. |
