ditchman Posted December 8 Report Share Posted December 8 well apologies if it dosnt look coulourful and wonderful...just the nature of the beast what i will say is....that it was the tastiest broth/stew that i have ever eaten.....it needed some crusty bread with it....but for the next week or so i am leaving bread out of my diet as it has made things difficult for me.. this stew/broth did not contain any spices or herbs apart from a sprinkling of Maldon sea salt and a twist of black pepper this is pure rocket fuel and is sitting very nicely in my tummy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsh man Posted December 8 Report Share Posted December 8 I have just weighed your stew up Simon from different angles and the verdict is , more than enough colour and would suit just about everyone , you cannot go wrong with a meal like that inside you after you have been out in the Winters fresh air , this coming week I might get a fresh pack of casserole mix and some some nice bits of stewing steak , as we are getting near the happy hour I will call it , Rindfleischeintopf , and no this isn't how the ole folk on the Acle marshes talk , the first one to get the name right can come to mine and get fed and water'd with the creation , and no it isn't the boggy prize Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7daysinaweek Posted December 9 Report Share Posted December 9 Ditchy that looks superb! Good size chunks, non of that small business. It looks to be a similar take to 'Scouse' the national dish of Liverpool, thought to be derived form the term 'Lobscouse' which was a stew which was traditionally made by european sailors. As Liverpool was one of the busiest 18th century sea ports , it became a common local dish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted December 9 Report Share Posted December 9 I put Beef Stew first but reading the "proper word from an EU country threw me as the UK is no longer a EU country so Goulash seemed more likely than Beef Stew which is an English (non EU) country? Is there a consolation prize for over thinking the question? 😀. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
