I wonder what happened to her home brewed 'fruity' vinegar. That never saw the light of day again.

We love a frau transcending up and out of the shadows, welcome dear heart

This reminds me we need to look at our Google trends again, Del Monte can’t have even done that because tattle are ranked as third in associated searches, second if you aggregated all the iterations of tattle? They may as well have given us the tens of thousands of pounds to throw a fruit party with tbh

Is anyone willing to take the risk ...make this and report back ??
I’m predicting bitter onion with a background of stomach churning fat
And how the fuck does it thicken??
Look at all the frothy bubbles in the photo - it does not thicken!

I like the star shaped sauce dish.

The rest looks like a discoloured photo from a 1971 cookbook.

Ok in defense of veg peel stock. This is a common way to make veg stock or boost chicken/meat stock flavor. She didn’t invent it and many cooks do it.

Caveat: you don’t put nasty shit in it. Nothing slimy, though a bit shriveled is fine. Nothing actually mangy or dirty.

If I’m using this kind of thing in a bone stock or vegetable stock, it has to be clean and decent quality. Also, though organic produce is sadly a privilege (not sure the price difference between conventional and organic in the UK, but in the US it’s a lot, you can easily spend $3 on one large organic specialty apple) those are preferred as they are without pesticides. I don’t have much money but I buy organic onions because I use the skins and butts in stock. I don’t use conventional peels in a stock (no judgment or prissiness here for anyone who does, just a personal choice).

Stepping off the veg peel soapbox.

I have a theory, maybe, just maybe she is betting on everyone getting COVID and not being able to taste or smell anything. I’m sure they will have an early Christmas feast, Nigella style of course, then SB and BB will declare it the most delicious ever.

Same as people arguing over jam or cream first on a scone, or how to pronounce it, or whether its a bun, bap or roll, or wether it’s tea or dinner...it’s what passes for personality these days.

I'm still amazed that blending raw onions then boiling them was the result of two full weeks of work.

Imagine what her first drafts were like...
