I'm looking for the recipe (I only recently wrote it down). However, I'll warn you that unlike her thin soup, I prefer a thick 'chowder'. Where she used milk, I use cream and once thickened, I don't let it cook further. In short, it's hearty and filling, but it'll kill you over time (the tryptophan sluggishness is only matched by the clogging of the arteries). I use the same 'base' for clam chowder with a couple variations.

I'll post it if I can find it (I never use a recipe, not sure where I left that file).

Congrats on the graduation too Roger!

Maybe Lin can confirm this: Geo. Bernard Shaw "Two peoples, separated by a common language". ;-)

Hi Rick.

Yeah this reminds me of the concept of 'false friends' within languages. I cannot think of any really good examples of this, but you could have a word in English which looks similar to French and then make the assumption that they are the equivalent meaning of one another. This is often a good technique but sometimes it fails miserably and it must be a nightmare for many of the language students out there, lol.

Yup there are many accents in Britain and one that is probably harder to understand than deep cockney is Glaswegian. (If you have ever seen the comedy sitcom Rab C Nesbitt, you shall see what I mean, lol). But accents are funny things, there seems to be a lot more variety of this in the UK than in the States for example, unless it is just that I haven't noticed it?

I'm not surprised that your granny was a fan of Mr. Churchill. She won't have been alone at the time I'm sure! Her recipe sounds good to me also! Don't be shocked if I also contact you privately for this at some point. Lol.

Mark.
