Darn it - rubbish again

[Meerkat]

I really tried tonight and it still didn't taste right

I was trying to make beef stroganoff - don't get me wrong it was edible but didn't taste like the one my dad used to make and the taste I have in my head

what recipes have you tried to replicate and how did they turn out?? As you remember them or just edible (like mine tonight) or a total disaster(Had a few of them too)

[MightyMouth]

I don't really follow recipes. Most of my meals are what I saw my Mum doing. My recipes I do use are usually from my Sister who is a really good cook. She churns out dinner parties for 8 to 28 standing on her head!!

ooo I wish I culd be a like that and turn out food like that

[MightyMouth]

So do I. She is amazing.....really talented.

Dougs nana made the best pea and ham soup ever ( simple I hear you shout)
yup but I have spent the last 25yrs trying to get mine taste like hers

[MightyMouth]

Same with my Mums lentil soup!

I can't get lentil soup to look right. It tastes good but the consistency just isn't right.

I'd love to be able to make soups and sauces really well.

[Meerkat]

Lentil soup I can do

ooo pea and ham soup - dad did this too and I have never tried to do that but can just taste it now ooo if only I had taken the time to be with him more in the kitchen

I am really lucky as my Mum is a complete disaster in the kitchen.

My mate makes fabby stroganoff in the slow cooker - jujst chucks it all in and eats it 8 hours later.
I've tried, all seperated and yukky!

And i have to disagree with you all - MY mum made the best lentil soup!!!

[Meerkat]

And i have to disagree with you all - MY mum made the best lentil soup!!!

I said I can make this - never said it was the best

[MightyMouth]

Well I definitely disagree.....that is my Mums claim to fame....battle of the soups it is then Nessie!!

[Linz13]

What have I started! Lol.

Pea and ham, i just boil frozen peas with a smoked ham joint, and blend. Surprisingly delicious.

Send all your soup samples to me and I'll be the judge...I love homemade lentil soup.

My mums best meal was cold meat beans and chips and funnily enough I can do that LOL

I once bought a tray of yummy bright red tomatoes and tried to make soup with them....
Iv never seen so much mess, peeling, de-seeding chopping, cooking, sieving I ended up with 2 tablespoons of soup!
It tasted like dirty dishwater too

[MightyMouth]

We'll not be trying your soup then lol xxxx
