Ultimate comfort food in these trying times

That looks amazing! Is that cheese that they added towards the end? And what was the green herb - we often add coriander, but it didn't look like it was. Nice that it was still "chunky", a change from the smooth version we usually make. 

[Erato]

Yeah, that's cheese.  The green stuff is huacatay - not an essential ingredient unless you want the authentic Inca flavor.  It's not used much in Quito and I don't think I've had any since living in Peru.

I agree with Maddys52, pumpkin is wonderful.

Parsnips were also used for animal feed, and they are delicious too.

I think after this is over Erato, you might have some (unwelcome) dinner guests from all over the world. The food in your part of the world sounds amazing.

[maddys52]

It certainly does, thanks Erato.

Come on Spidermonkey a crisp sandwich has to be cheese & onion crisps and no salad cream.

Just put my roast lamb in at 8.00, lightly coated it in mint jelly and roasting on low for about 5 hours, so will have nice smelling house all morning.

Doing it with new potato's, carrots, bobby beans, cauliflower & minted Yorkshire puddings.

Any Sunday Roast is defiantly second only to the full English.

When I first moved to The Netherlands in 1998, parsnips were a very rare commodity
The Dutch always thought of them as animal feed.

However, over the following 10 years, they started to appear (thought to be because of immigrant community).
And, my favourite vegetable

Already done my roast this week - did a roast chicken on Thursday.
I find the best smells are from when I make the chicken stock, from the carcass

[Ruskie]

I am going to John’s for his roast too.

What is a bobby bean please? 

[Girl Guide]

bobby bean (plural bobby beans)

A French bean that is larger than 8mm in diameter, typically from a species such as Nerina, Bronco, or Paulista.

Not sure what they look like, maybe similar to broad beans?
