Stew AND Dumplings...

[CJ]

I am very much looking forward to eating well this weekend, and I got to thinking that I really could only have stew and dumplings together.

I think that to enjoy one without the other would just be plain wrong.:devil:

Any thoughts??

[drathzel]

i love stew but have never tried dumplings so in my mind, yes stew can be ate without dumplings:D

Hey... who have you been talking to? :whistle:

[TiggsTours]

With CJ 100% on this one! Somebody who's had stew without dumplings has been as deprived as someone who's only ever had non-chocolate advent calendars. Without is nice, but once tried with, there's no going back!:drool:

[Sparkles]

I think it's interesting that one at a time is not enough for you - most men seem to manage :whistle:

[KatieR]

I make a lightly herbed dumpling.. very tasty. :drool:

[wicked blue]

yuk, yuk and yuk!!!

i hate stew and as for dumplings their disgusting!!! :sick:

[KatieR]

My menu for the lads on Saturday evening is going to be:

Home made pumpkin soup for starter
Beef and vegetable stew with herbed dumplings
Home made apricot and apple turnovers for dessert

all washed down with a lovely bottle of red...

[KatieR]

yuk, yuk and yuk!!!

Sparkles,

I would have hoped that you know, by now, that I'm not most men!!:waycool:

[Aleks]

menu...lots of yummy food

I hope you're making a vat-full of everything; azande has an unimaginably large capacity for downing that kind of yummy stuff.

:clap::clap: and I get a weekend off cooking! :clap::clap:

[azande]

Sparkles,

I would have hoped that you know, by now, that I'm not most men!!:waycool:
Yeah, you are a bald one!

[KatieR]

Sparkles,

I would have hoped that you know, by now, that I'm not most men!!:waycool:

Are you one of these gentlemen that likes everything all at once? :whistle:

[KatieR]

I hope you're making a vat-full of everything; azande has an unimaginably large capacity for downing that kind of yummy stuff.

If I'm going to dance with any kind of movement, I REALLY need to have my stew and dumplings after Twyford.

[KatieR]

come on people.. can we at least keep one thread positive? I appreciate people not necessarily liking stew but why do we feel the need to always bemoan other people's preferences?

Now I understand why everyone always stays with Sparkles and Katie when they come to London :whistle:

[KatieR]

Im sure there will be enough to keep you completely satisfied..:whistle:

[KatieR]

:what:

Now I understand why everyone always stays with Sparkles and Katie when they come to London :whistle:

I have to admit though, I think I'm riding on the Sparkly One's coat tails a bit. :blush:

[CJ]

You started it :na:

I merely stated that I thought that stew and dumplings would be a great combination and that I was looking forward to a healthy portion.:waycool:

For what you do with that, I cannot take responsibility!!:rolleyes:

[KatieR]

And a healthy portion of stew and dumplings you will get :D

yummy sounds good. I've not really eaten properly for two days (worries and all that). I'm really gonna pig out this weekend.

[Sparkles]

I don't know about the rest of you, but I think I need a cold shower now!

As for the apricot and apple turnovers... do we get cream with that? :innocent:

[CJ]

do we get cream with that? :innocent:

I imagine you just help yourself...:whistle:

[KatieR]

Most definately!

[Sparkles]

Nah, 's not my style.

So what's on the menu for Sunday then? :yum:

[KatieR]

Nah, 's not my style.

So what's on the menu for Sunday then? :yum:

Perhaps I can make home made pizza?

[CJ]

So what's on the menu for Sunday then? :yum:

I was thinking some Scotch beef or even a good helping of pork...

[KatieR]

I was thinking some Scotch beef or even a good helping of pork...

Im already making Scottish Flapjacks... does that count?

[stewart38]

Thought this was about me and my Birds

Guess not :sad:

[LMC]

And I was just horrified that several forum members appeared to be openly contemplating cannibalism.

No disrespect, but I'm sure there are tastier people than Stewart38 out there... :innocent:

[stewart38]

Hard to swallow but on reflection easier to digest :what:


Any one want to put my quotes into a book for xmas 2006 :waycool:

[fletch]

Stew:drool:
I have a fab Slimming World recipe, Dumplings are loverly but had to go when I started the Deit:tears:

Lots of parsnips:yum:

[KatieR]

And I was just horrified that several forum members appeared to be openly contemplating cannibalism.:

Tastes like chicken..... (or so I've heard :eek: )

[dee]

come on people.. can we at least keep one thread positive? I appreciate people not necessarily liking stew but why do we feel the need to always bemoan other people's preferences?

I was only stating that i didn't like it. Sorry for having an opinion :mad:

[KatieR]

I was only stating that i didn't like it. Sorry for having an opinion :mad:

Im all for having an opinion, I've been known to have one myself. But (and I know Ive been guilty of it myself) do we always have to bring things down? Why not just say, I dont like it .. rather than equate it to dogs dinner. I actually make quite a nice stew and your comments really put me off.

I also think that a lot of people use the 'am i not allowed to have an opinion' as an excuse to be nasty. Im not directing this specifically at you Dee, I dont think your comments were meant to be nasty. But I get so fed up with all the negativity sometimes.

Dee thining Im the 'dogs dinner' and now KatirR saying she likes Stew :sick:

Im laping this up

I like Stew to :yeah:

Funny how you only highlighted mine, so why not highlight Wicked Blues as well?
i hate stew and dumplings :mad:

[dee]

Now if we were to be talking about Stewart38 then yeah i like stew :drool: he is a really lovely man :worthy:

I am sorry Katie R but i dont see that Dee was being negative. Dee and Wicked blue just said that didnt like Stew and Dumpling (whats casserole then?). If this were a thread where only lovers of stew and dumplings could post then the starter should have said so. I dont see any one else throwing there toys out of their prams but obviously she touched a nerve here. I like casserole but avoid dumplings as i like to keep my fat content down. Take it as you please sweetie.

[DavidB]

Home made pumpkin soup for starter

Women just can't keep their hands off me...

[dee]

Im sure you'll have your hands full :wink:

I could of highlighted that but didn't. I could of said "why not keep this thread clean" but i didn't.

*dees' turn to throw toys out of pram*

[Rhythm King]

I feel sorry for Niel. He'll get no stew and dumpling staying at mine, herbed, or otherwise.

[Dizzy]

My menu for the lads on Saturday evening is going to be:

Home made pumpkin soup for starter
Beef and vegetable stew with herbed dumplings
Home made apricot and apple turnovers for dessert

all washed down with a lovely bottle of red...


:drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

Sounds lovely, good one Katie!!! :hug: :worthy: :worthy:

As for stew and dumplings - you can't have one without the other, that is just wrong. It's like apple pie with no custard :what:

[Tiggerbabe]

I feel sorry for Niel. He'll get no stew and dumpling staying at mine, herbed, or otherwise.
Yeah, but on the bright side, he'll not get Pumpkin soup either :whistle:

[Rhythm King]

Yeah, but on the bright side, he'll not get Pumpkin soup either :whistle:

There's a butternut squash in the house. He can do what he likes on his own...

Mmmmmm Haven't had stew and dumplings for absolute ages. I quite agree thats it's certainly WRONG o have one without the other. I want some now!! Have you any going spare :flower:

[stewart38]

The next time you have one of those PM me and ill tell you where you went wrong :wink:

[Whitebeard]

h

I still like stew (or casserole) and dumplings even though for the first time in my life I seem to have mislaid my waist.

But today, thank you, thank you, Clive, for a lovely Sunday dinner:

Succulent gamey roast duckling breast, with golden 'erb garnished roast potatoes, outer dark green leaves of savoy cabbage (nice, but takes some cooking), sliced carrot, nice gravy courtesy of Aunt Bessie, sage and onion stuffing balls by Morrisons' OB, all washed down with a couple of glasses of a nice Arniston Bay ruby cabernet.

Trouble is, there's now a sinkful of greasy washing up to be done.
