85: A cooling crab salad, p206

Oh dear, another dud for my tastes... It's partly my fault. I trapsed around Richmond looking for crab meat and all I could get was brown, which I thought/hoped would do. Then got home and found the bit in the recipe where Nige says 'I would normally suggest a mixture of both brown and white crab meat but with the melon it is best to stick to white meat'. Damn. Fail. And it didn't work. Maybe it would have worked with white. But I didn't like the other flavours in combination anyway - ginger and watercress and melon? Hmm, didn't work for me. The ripe melon was so sweet, it ended up quite sickly. Ho hum.

Another cake tomorrow, I think...
