Old fashioned stew

[gibbo]

Thanks, but no thanks

Perpetual stew is a stew containing whatever is on hand and added to as needed. Constantly kept above the "danger zone" it can be in the same pot for years if always above 140f, creating a perpetual cycle of adding and removing from it. It was often a staple of medieval inn meals.

I lasted 3 days with a chicken stew, is became a Chicken Chilli, then Chicken Curry. Then it became launched in the bin.

The kids love my stews so we only get one feed out of it and they come and take what's left home
Got to have dumplings with stew to, no good without the dumplings

I must ask Steve, you add the curry in with the chillie chicken?

Errr, yes. Got bored with the flavour, and the sight and taste of chicken stew.

I love stew though, but not day after day. Dumplings added, then put in the oven, to give a slightly crispy crust on the top of the dumplings.

Just as cheap to buy puff pastry, less mess, less waste, less washing up.
