It also has a particular kind of tomato-eness (if that's a word! lol) that you just can't get anywhere else. I have been known to include HP Brown Sauce in beef stew before now, too. That takes it in an interesting direction, but you can't use as much as with tomato.Jenny Eatwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16664664803454422811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6040346349049757534.post-51414816456909561712011-06-20T22:21:31.608+01:002011-06-20T22:21:31.608+01:00What is it about putting ketchup in stews that mak...What is it about putting ketchup in stews that make them even nicer?

What l ...I think the dish looks really great Jenny. What l would can, rustic, and, hey.....dumplings, always seem to blend in o.k. No matter what.....! :).<br />You know l remember, way back, late 60's.<br />The Ship in Weymouth, as it used to be.....A poky little pub, run by a guy called Smith. <br />Of course in them days you could have heating hotplates on the bar.<br />Well, he used to make a big pot of beef stew, on one hot plate and a pot of mashed potato on the<br />other. Mon/Tues/Wens. Small dish...2/6d. <br />Then, on Thurs, for the rest of the week....He would put a tablespoonful of vindaloo paste in, convert it to beef curry, with a pot of boiled rice....And, still sell the rest for 2/6d. a bowel. With a pint of Guinness, sheer heaven....! :0).<br />But, as you say, like curry, no two stews are the same, that's the beauty of food and cooking.....! :0).WILLIE...! =(^..^)=https://www.blogger.com/profile/14862273578655424772noreply@blogger.com
