\nHere I am, a Belgian girl writing about Britain and British food and I am really proud<\/b> that they have taken me under the Great British Chefs’ wing.<\/p>\n
\n I think of my beloved Kent, apples, cobnuts, cherries and hops are the
\nfour things that define this county for me. They have moulded the
\nlandscape with their orchards and plats and have influenced the kitchens
\n and culture.<\/p>\n
\n discovered Kentish cobnuts on a late summers day when they are sold
\nfresh in their green husks. The kernels are then juicy and resemble a
\nchestnut flavour, yet more delicate. When autumn arrives the cobnuts are
\n ripened, the husks, then turned brown, are removed and they look more
\nlike the hazelnut we generally know. Now they are dried and referred to
\nas Golden Cobnuts. The flavour of the nut has developed while ripening,
\nand has gone from fresh and juicy to an intense nutty flavour. When
\nstored dry they keep till christmas. The Kentish cobnut is larger and
\nmore ovoid shaped than a hazelnut and also has a different and slightly
\nmore intense flavour.<\/p>\n
\n generally grow in Kent, where the variety the ‘Kentish Cob’ was planted
\n in the 19th century by a Mr Lambert of Goudhurst.
\nThey
\n have however been around since Tudor times and were but revived by the
\nVictorians who considered them to be a delicacy. There are more
\nvarieties of cobnuts but as Kent has historically been the main county
\nproducing cobnuts, the term Kentish cob is often used generally for
\nevery variety of cobnut grown in Britain.
\nCobnut
\n orchards are known as ‘plats’ and the nuts are harvested by hand by
\nworkmen called ‘nutters’. In the old days cobnuts were also sometimes
\npicked by hop pickers coming down from London as cobnuts and hops both
\nripen at the same time. The disappearance of the Hop pickers roughly
\ncorresponds with the decline of the cobnut plats.<\/p>\n
\n last few years there’s been a revival in cobnut growing as well as in
\nhop growing as many people are opting to buy British and the growing
\namount of micro breweries are showing interest in Kentish hops again.
\nCherry orchards are being planted once more and apples are still plenty
\nand taking over the British greengrocers.
\nI
\n had Kent on my mind when my sack of golden cobnuts arrived and I was
\nalso in need of a cake or tart that is not only comforting and cosy on a
\n dreary autumn day but also a bit more nutritious than your average
\ntart.
\nThis
\n cobnut and apple tart is something between a cake and a tart, I am
\nusing spelt flour and lots of cobnuts and apples so this tart will not
\nonly give you your dose of sweets but also energy.<\/p>\n
