There are\u00a07 earlier entries on this blog that spell this fish as ‘grey<\/em> sole’ and 6 that use the form, ‘gray<\/em> sole’. Supposedly the former spelling is used overwhelmingly in the U.K. and Canada, the latter just as frequently in the U.S., but somebody forgot to tell the fisher people on eastern Long Island. Perhaps the responsibility for the anomoly, if it is<\/em> an anomoly, can be laid on the particularly New England features of Suffolk county culture, and the particularly English features of the culture of New England itself.<\/p>\n

On this site, at least going forward, I’ve decided to go with the spelling used by my fishers: That means that yesterday I\u00a0bought some beautiful ‘grey sole’.<\/p>\n

There was also a surprising amount of green on the plate for the last day of February, all fresh from local farmers (there was no question about the proper spelling of ‘green’).<\/p>\n

There were the pea greens in the sauce\u00a0served with the sole..<\/p>\n

..the dark green of the vegetable that accompanied it..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

..and the tiny ‘rainbow micro greens’..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

..that garnished the very un-green potatoes..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

..but the really spectacular color\u00a0disappeared before we sat down: the incredibly sweet baby carrots which our farmers of Windfall Farms<\/a> had dug up from their thawed soil in Montgomery County the day before we enjoyed them, as crudit\u00e9s before the entr\u00e9e.<\/p>\n

After the carrots, the meal went like this.<\/p>\n
