Soup With A Difference

[mrs_overall]

I've just made some french onion soup - caramelised onions, a good beef stock, garlic, white wine and a slug of brandy - or so I thought. Instead of brandy I have mistakenly added dandelion and burdock. I have to say it doesn't taste too bad!

Gness, I shall have to speak to your carer first

Is 'diruetic' French for 'pissenlit'?

[mrs_overall]

shoota, it is the medication....honest

[shoota]

Too much dandelion and burdock if you ask me.

The white sap from dandelion stalks got rid of my warts. Thought it was just an old wives tale from a friend of my mums but it worked.
