Paper apples

I didn't know what these were so I read up on them. You might find this interesting:

I already told you - sultanas are raisins to 90% Poles and Polesses.

Jesteś uparty jak osioł. I am not Polish though!!!!!! Nor am I a mind reader :)

None. I would do exactly the same but when it comes to a non-Pole like me trying to guess ingredients for recipes, I am going on the fact that sultanas are not mentioned in Polish cuisine. Even if they are big raisins :)

raisins soaked in milk.

maf suggested raisins in post #75 earlier so I disregarded them and chose sultanas instead.

that`s bad coz I wanted to asked about it next.

I can think of dishes with raisins but not sultanas. Usually Xmas or Easter though. Jewish carp/Babka/Kutia/Chalka

They look like sultanas to me but I can't think of a single Polish dish that uses them. I also thought of prunes but they're much bigger than what's in the dish.

A gardener/farmer puts seedlings on display for passing drivers to stop and buy.

That was the part I thought was so obvious that I presumed the riddle had to be something else.

it is the time to plant seedlings!!!

On one particular day? Weird.

But the number plate isn't shown in the original pic of the van. You only gave the reg number in post #450. If I'd seen the flag sign of course I'd have known it was a Scottish plate.

That's an older model 2012 van and the MA it starts with in the reg corresponds to Manchester/Merseyside.

Only clove - two pieces per pot.

That's all? I'm surprised you can taste it in a large pot of fruit and water.

So what is this whole display for??

No idea. Presumably you can buy the plants but the date has no particular significance I can think of.

You are still not sure after reading the plate?

How can I tell? There is nothing in that plate to tell it's from Scotland.

@pawian white objects???

I can barely see them but are they pieces of plastic showing the varieties of the particular plant available?

10 days or even longer.

I will give this a go. Do you put spices in yours or just for Xmas Kompot?

What can you see?

Some very blurred plants.

meticulously nibbled at by hares.

Have you seen them eating the plants? I've never actually seen a hare.

kompot

How long would this keep in the fridge after making? I've had Kompot before but the smoky tasting one usually served at Xmas.

Could be the end of the leek lifecycle but they can be produced in response to extreme weather. Cut them off and the leek will keep growing.

You can eat them which I'm sure you've done.
