Beef Stew

[Liltweet_gal]

So, I'm eating some beef stew right now, and I realized that my favorite part of it was the vegetables, not the beef. And then a bunch of other thoughts jumbled into my head that I forgot right now...

So I guess just talk-
-favorite parts of beef stew
-homemade vs store bought
-other stews?
-stews vs soups vs chowder

I love vegetable soups and clam chowder with oysters in it.
My cats usually lick up the leftover chowder. whee
I do not like stew. I dislike red meat. I like vegetables in beef broth, though...
Homemade is totally better, but harder to achieve.

i love my mom's homemade beef stew~ except for the beef part, it's always kinda dry :/
yeah, my cat walked over my desk to get to my beef stew...it was pretty funny ><

My roommate made Guiness [beer] stew once. It was...interesting.

Beef stew is annoying. No, seriously.

Well, okay, I only think that because I'm the only one in my family who knows how to make it. My family just loves it. However, since I use either game meat or actual stew beef for it, it takes three hours to make the stuff.

Also, I'm in a competition that involves having to make...what else? Beef stew. (Actually, muskox stew, but the principle is the same.) So I'm making it once a week, like clockwork, and I'm really growing to hate the stuff. Turning potatoes may make them look pretty, but it's not worth the effort. Trust me on this one.

So, yeah. Beef stew irritates me these days.

My mom makes some sort of beef stew that is more like soup.

@ R_P- hmmm....never heard of that before

@ Shadow- sorry you have to go through all that...potatoes are delicious

@neum- lol, same with my mom. it's still pretty good though

Hmm... Low turnout.

I can't say I hate any part of Beef Stew. If it's missing any ingredients the whole thing falls apart. It's not as if it's truly a meat lover's dish to begin with. There are far meatier things to enjoy.

why else would it be called "beef stew"?

Hey now, don't judge too fast. I've had chocolate bars in which there was no chocolate or chocolate liqueur - and it wasn't white chocolate, either. It was just a really bad-quality chocolate bar. It's possible to have beef stew that is called such merely because it has beef stock in it. Of course, this tends to be the low-quality stuff. If it doesn't have the stuff it's named for in it, it fails and you shouldn't eat it. whee

I eat these hamburgers, right?

I don't even care for the meat, I just want the buns. That pair of hot, steamy, sweaty buns....

.... Are we talking about food? biggrin  

[God-Raped-Me]

You know Jaft, you always hit me more as a hot dog person.

 

[Jafthasleftthebuilding]

Hot links are actually quite delicious. Or any spicy dog. =w=
