Sometimes less is more...winter food.
« on: 05 January 2010, 20:41:57 »
Just made a lovely broth out of leftover bacon joint, tates, a leek, celery, carrots & parsnips. All leftovers bar the stock cube & an oxo...bay leaf & seasoning.
   Took less than an hour from peeling to serving, cost next to nothing, no oil or additives. Huge potful & tastes great if i say so myself. Can't beat home cooking! :y

I could just eat that.  Other thing with broths and stews is that they taste better the longer they are on the go.  :P :P :y

Used to be the done thing on Merchant Navy boats in years gone by... Whenever you fancied a mug of broth, into the galley and got one from the cook.  Grand!

Magnificent as they are deer equals venison so into the pot. The dogs would be spaniels or retrievers (soft mouthed) so ickle bundy wabbits would go in also as would any game. Hubble bubble! :y
