Tweed prawns, The Bay Seafood and self-seeding tomatoes

Tweed (NSW border with Queensland, Australia) king prawns from one of the best local fresh fish shops, if not the best, The Bay Seafood Market, Bryon Bay, were big, clean and smooth on the palate. Small, yellow tomatoes, possibly hybridised in our garden, counter-balance, in their sharpness, the sweetish prawns and the salty triple-cream brie.

Don’t you just love perennial vegetables or those that self-seed? Both kinds thwart eternal capitalist commodity consumption of new seed every season. Sterile seed is the formulation of a dark soul, is it not? Although the yellows crossing with the reds has meant, in our garden, all small tomatoes. But that hasn’t bothered me. I’ve just used the tiny red tomatoes whole, and more of them, replacing the normal slices.
