Most importantly, did the children actually eat anything? Amazingly, yes, as long as it was raw and eaten in situ. The feral feasting on strawberries, raspberries and blueberries I expected, and the lack of interest in the tomatoes stung a bit, but I've looked on dumbfounded as the children munched through raw runner beans and sugar snap peas before polishing off cucumbers with spines so fearsome they could double as medieval weaponry (I do make the small concession of peeling them first).
