Hooray - banana shallots at last!
Lost count of the number of times I've sent a product request for banana shallots. Peeling and chopping the little pickled-onion-sized ones is so tedious and time consuming. These are a breeze to prepare, and taste wonderful. Only snag is the name - never heard of Echalion, so only found that these were now stocked completely by accident.

They've invited me to be first Again!
I've been buying these all along from Waitrose & I'm so glad that Ocado is now stocking them. I had been looking for "banana"shallots without success. They have great flavour,but the main reason I like them is that they are so easy to cut and peel.Recipes usually call for "finely chopped shallots" & most of the TV chefs use these. I've always had trouble peeling, slicing & even gripping those hard little shallots so now my cooking can achieve a higher degree of finesse

An aside
This type of shallot is pictured in the 'Larousse Gastronomique' and labelled 'Long Jersey or Brittany Shallot'. They peel easily, are strongly flavoured and full of juice.
