I didn't get to see the Nero Wolfe series on Oz tv recently but I did happen to see the scene where the fresh corn cobs were delivered and NW was then seen eating corn fritters - which is a favourite breakfast treat for hubby & I.

I'm sure his corn fritters were fancier than ours, but maybe not. The fresh corn cut straight from the cob would be the key element.

I have a few books, including a herbal book with medical info and recipes and a vegetarian cookbook - all of which got me interested in chervil a couple of decades ago. The main thing is to put it in right at the end after cooking has finished - either as a garnish or as the final ingredient in a sauce, etc. I grew a whole lot of it when i first discovered it, then had a plant last spring and I need to replace it now. I'm inspired to go and get another packet of seeds.
