Posy or mix?
 

Was down accy today and im going to have a go at making broth. Went to the market stall and asked the assistant have you got any broth posy's left? The girl looked at me and said posy? Whats that? Do you mean broth mix sorry but we've sold out. Anyway when i was deciding what else to get she said Excuse me but what is a broth posy? I've had a few people who have asked me that but whats a broth posy? Ive always called it a broth posy. So told her what my mum told me - that a broth posy is when the veg isnt chopped up - you have to chop it up yourself, mix is when its all chopped up for you. Is that right.

Didnt half make me feel old though!!! :D

Stuck it in here because when was the last time you could buy a broth posy - now its broth mix everywhere.

A posy is better than mix - you can clearly see bug bitten cabbage - ready chopped you cant see it

Re: Posy or mix?
 

wasn,t aware a broth posy was hard to get these days:confused: seems silly to me, but probably not to the traders, they can get rid of all the crap in a mix, says the cynical one.:(

Re: Posy or mix?

broth mix and shin beef
cant seem to get posy,s from the traders

Re: Posy or mix?

Re: Posy or mix?

When I moved from Accy in 1993 to my present abode in Bury, I was distraught to find that you could neither find broth mix/posy, but over here they call broth mix "pot herbs", exactly the same ingredients but a different name. Sent to try us or what???

Re: Posy or mix?
 

I've never heard of a broth posy. I've always known it as broth mix.

Re: Posy or mix?
 

I always thought broth mix was the cut up root vegetables, and that the broth posies were the bunches of tied up herbs, that you bought with it?

Re: Posy or mix?
 

I can't find any information on broth posies. The only herb I know for sure that is in them is Thyme.

Re: Posy or mix?
 

A broth posy is really just an English bouquet garni, and is made up of Thyme, Parsley and a Bay Leaf, tied into a bunch, and added to flavour the broth stock.

Never given it a thought till now but i dont think you can get the posys here either . havent seen em for years . but they give off a lovely aroma during cooking .

Re: Posy or mix?
 

I've heard of broth posy and mix but didn't know the difference between them, last time I made broth it was horrible, must've done something wrong.

Re: Posy or mix?
 

Don't think you can go wrong with broth, you either like it or you don't IMHO. Though I love all vegetables broth is not my cup of tea.

Re: Posy or mix?
 

Its best if you use fresh veg,and take time to chop everything tiny,,dont forget a bit of barley,or mixed pulses.and the herbs..Oh and dont forget a bit of celery,it smells lovely ,,ooooh i am hungry now:)

Re: Posy or mix?
 

You might find you prefer it without the milk and two sugars in it.:D

Re: Posy or mix?
 

By the way I love broth.:)

Re: Posy or mix?
 

Who's on form tonight? Just doesn't float my boat;)

Re: Posy or mix?
 

with big fat dumplings,, my mum used to call them little lads.....

Re: Posy or mix?
 

Just thought it was tasteless, though cant remember putting any meat or herbs in it, it might just be that I prefer a tasty soup:)

Re: Posy or mix?
 

Everytime i make broth or try to make it (being the operative word) it goes wrong. Even when i made it under instruction from mum it went wrong. So god knows what this is going to turn out like - im doing it under instruction from spug!!! If im still alive this time tomorrow night - i havent poisoned myself!!! :D:D:D


At least i admit it - cant cook for peanuts. Why do you think spug cooked all the time when he was down - self preservation!!! lol :D

Re: Posy or mix?
 

So if we don't hear from you do we take it that you have poisoned yourself?

Re: Posy or mix?
 

Now now jen you only need to follow a recipe hun hehehe please dont poisen yourself hun we,ll lose our very own little angel..;):):D

Re: Posy or mix?
 

no i don't like broth either berni ..though i love most vegetables i cannot eat them in a broth.

Re: Posy or mix?
 

Its cooking the dumplings have gone in so half an hour......... :D

Re: Posy or mix?
 

Enjoy.....:)

Re: Posy or mix?

Re: Posy or mix?
