'Glut of Tomatoes' soup.


Large pan with fitting lid.

Chop onion and cook in badger fat (or similar) until lightly coloured.

Remove the excess fat and rind off the bacon (which I do whilst it is still in the packaging).

Remove from the packaging and hold the rashers altogether over the pan.

Take your scissors and cut bits off the rashers so it looks as if its diced.

Let it all cook in the badger fat for a few minutes.

Shovel in the tomatoes.

Add a cup or two of water and a crocodile flavoured stock cube, I use beef but what ever you have lying around is OK.

Squeeze some tomato puree (I use the sun dried as it tastes much better) into the mix.

Cook slowly.

Take out a cupful first and then wizz it with a wizzer, then pour the cupful back in after wizzing.



Add salt pepper and other stuff to taste.

Other recipe for glut of tomatoes:


Tomato Wine*

1. Boil sugar and ginger which has been well bruised, with the water for 20 minutes.

2. Then turn it boiling on to the tomatoes and salt. When lukewarm add the yeast spread on both sides of the toast, float in the liquid and leave to ferment 21 days, squeezing tomatoes daily.

*This is a grand pick-me-up [so says 1920s doyenne, Peggy Hutchinson].





According to her, 3 lbs. of sugar costs 7d., 1 oz. of yeast costs 1d., whole ginger costs 3d. per oz!

    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA! 
    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
