Not a bad alternative, if you're not a cack-handed cook.

Well at least your minestrone is authentic, Susan.

This was my Mum's when she started a recipe book for me:

1lb Brisket of Beef (boiling beef).
1 Carrot
1 Turnip
Cabbage and broccoli, peas, barley, mixed herbs.

Soak peas overnight in boiling water.
Use a large pan, boil your beef for about an hour then add chopped vegetables.

Tablespoonful of barley and about 1/4 lb peas and pinch of mixed herbs.

Boil slowly for about 2 hours, then take meat out and add suet dumplings and boil for half an hour.

Where is the thyme ? Certainly remember those yukky twig bits.


This was the recipe for suet dumplings ... hahaha .. I just guess.

1/4 lbs plain and self-raising flour mixed.
2 ozs flaked suet (Kilverts.. )
Pinch salt.

Mix with cold water with a knife as though you were making ordinary pastry. Divide into small portions and roll into balls.

Yummy. Mum nearly always baked her own bread and muffins. Not in her recipe book, unfortunately... What was that navel thingy in the middle all about ?

No, I reckon Joan is using you as her poison taster, just in case an extra ingredient has slipped in there by accident...
