Often, the only reason I've made a stew is because we've been yearning for dumplings. lol You'll have to try my parsley dumplings in your next stew - and see the difference they make! So, how did you get on at Morrisons this week? Any good bargains?<br /><br />Guerilla Griller : I suppose I could have said that if you didn't have parsley, you could always put some other herb of your choice in there! Fresh chives would be good. Dried herbs just wouldn't have the same effect. It'd be like eating sawdust dumplings, I suspect. Oh, I agree totally as regards what you say about the cheaper and tasty cuts of meat. There's so much waste in this world that if we can encourage people to use what would otherwise be thrown away (not only food-wise!) then it can't be a bad thing.Jenny Eatwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16664664803454422811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6040346349049757534.post-71772975636531389872011-02-20T08:07:35.164+00:002011-02-20T08:07:35.164+00:00Jenny, I love this kind of meal, and this recipe i...Jenny, I love this kind of meal, and this recipe is great - and I love the attention to detail that if you don't have fresh parsley, don't bother with the dried stuff! The more that people discover (re-discover) the cheaper, but very tasty, cuts of meat the better, IMHO; the more that people like us bang on about it, the less (hopefully) people will buy low-quality chicken, un-hung beef, shed-reared pork etc just because they are "cheap" in the wrong way.The Guerilla Grillerhttp://guerillagriller.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6040346349049757534.post-45342511654389578692011-02-19T07:43:11.713+00:002011-02-19T07:43:11.713+00:00Wow....This looks really great, love my stews, can...Wow....This looks really great, love my stews, can't remember the last time l had dumplings, in a stew that is.... :) Don't seem to bother with them really, Silly Willie......!<br />Well, l just finished a third lot of curry, last night, one l made last Sunday, as l always do. And, boy was it hot....Pheeew! The longer you keep a curry the better it gets. And, HOT....I was really sweat'in, no, perspire'in, no, glow'in.....There, l've covered ALL genders, don't want to upset anyone.<br />:). Roll on tomorrow, hope there's cheap diced meat at Morrisons. Away go again. So, the three packs of diced meat l bought last week for £3. gave my three meals this week. AND, l love 'MY' currys. <br />Well, must get on, second cup of lemon tea comm'in up, off to Wimborne, have a pose round the shops, coffee at Costa. Then home. Been invited out from lunch tomorrow, carvery, so, look'in forward to that. :0)WILLIE...! =(^..^)=https://www.blogger.com/profile/14862273578655424772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6040346349049757534.post-89485592455874285832011-02-18T22:50:53.694+00:002011-02-18T22:50:53.694+00:00Bovril is marvellous stuff. :) It's basically...Bovril is marvellous stuff. :) It's basically beef stock that has been reduced to the consistency of treacle. It comes in a little jar like a Marmite jar (if you know what that is!) and most people of my generation can remember having mugfuls of steaming Bovril (watered down with boiling water), instead of soup, when we were kids. It makes a beefy thing incredibly beefy!Jenny Eatwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16664664803454422811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6040346349049757534.post-75168026173051551952011-02-18T22:31:29.143+00:002011-02-18T22:31:29.143+00:00Oh my Jenny!
