sincere apologies - but watso has trouble remembering the names of any wannabe chefs who have a cooking show .. and that includes the cooking shows on sbs ..
wannabe chefs .. are just that - ie wannabe chefs .. unlike watso who is the genuine chef .. known the world over ..
anyway this wannabe chef showed how to cook a beef stew .. nothing special - just the normal ingredients .. ie beef, carrots, onions, potatoes .. but he added a bit of spinach (or was it silverbeet???)..
after tossing in the green part of the spinach into the stew , the wannabe chef, kept the white stalk parts - and tossed them into a blender , along with an onion, and parsley blah blah and ended up with some sort of a paste ..
watso was interested in the show - because he had just made a beef (with chicken) stew .. see Post #:71647340
just some random watso thoughts ...
the wannabe chef had big lumps of beef/potatoes/carrots .. watso opts for everything thinly sliced/diced .. ok the wannabe chef coated his chuck beef slices in flour - before browning them .. watso might try that some time .. chef extraordinaire watso - is humble enough to know that he does not know everything ..
from memory, the wannabe chef mentioned that he did not particularly like spinach (which is 100% understandable) .. but if done the right way - can be appealing ..
in the distant past , watso has mentioned that he was a real keen vege grower - as a kid .. and silverbeet/spinach was a good thing to grow - and maybe once a week, the leaves would be picked (just had to keep the snail pellets around the plants) and be included as part of a meal ...
sadly for watso the tales of popeye the sailor man and how spinach made him super strong .. that did not work for watso .. when the young teen watso went to the beach - he was the guy who had sand kicked in his face
and straight from watso's personal photo album
lol lol watso used to be a lanky (tall and all arms and legs) teenager... but after the age of 17.5 years, and with plenty of hard physical work, with plenty of good food - and mixed in at an age where he would have bulked out anyway
ahh the dreams of watso in his prime .. these days, the GREAT FATSO WATSO ..is just a great big slob (watso posted a pic if his big slob self the other day in a post)
