Re: Why
Just what we have grown up used to I suppose. Wouldn't taste the same to me with spuds or anything else really. To be honest wouldn't make broth unless I was making dumplings with it. Then again what we up here call broth might be different elsewhere.

Re: Why
Why is it everyone seems to sell broth mix these days, rather than posies? and half the time, they don't have any thyme with it, so you have to get your own? Suppose it's easier putting it through a machine than making up the posies.
Better getting your own bits together I think than getting the mix, can cut the pieces how you like them.

Re: Why
Theres a stall on the market that has the thyme and they normally ask if you want any. Broth posies have gone for a burden me thinks i havent seen any this year ... just broth mix. Broth mix is easier though saves you having to peel and then chop it all up. Mind you i got a broth mix last week from up hassy and they'd not peeled it just chopped it all up ... so not buying it from there again.

I stuggle too because I have 2 numb fingers
Frozen veg is more nutritous because it was frozen very soon after harvesting - comes ready peeled - and if you dont microwave it, it is better value than fresh veg

Re: Why
Doesn't taste the same because the flour of the dumps thickens it slightly and they absorb some of the salt from the liquor.
I really enjoy broth but it shoudl be made one day and eaten the next for best effect.

Re: Why
heh, any liquid use in cooking is referred to as 'liquor'
as it is I'm a qualified chef and a rather good cook at that. Ask Cyfr about my hospitality
I've also had no complaints from Julie and Siobhan over the years.

Re: Why
Yes entwisi its the flour in the dumplings (little lads) that thickens it up and makes it tasty.....
Why does broth taste so much better warmed up ,,,but left over dumplings ( little lads ) just go horrible
