So, who wants to help... to perpetuate the cellar?

Allow me to save my fellow Cellarites from falling into Grave Error. Actually, I think it unlikely that any of you would be so foolish.

I have concocted a Bolognese sauce, without the attendant drama detailed not so very long ago. It occurred to me that I was in possession of a fine cabbage. Not wishing to waste same, and being conscientious about me one-and-a-bit a day, I thought to myself ‘ha! I shall shred a quarter of that cabbage finely, just blanch it in the pasta water, and all will be splendid!’.

This method does neither the cabbage nor the Bolognese any favours. One lives and sometimes one learns.

Yeah, but then so does amoebic dysentery

I was taught that brassica and bolognese together will result in a state akin to dysentry of the chronic persuasion
Guaranteed weight loss followed by loss of various organs and eventually if continued with as a diet breathing and heartbeat…

True, but you have to

(a) contrive to catch it
(b) suffer some rather unpleasant side-effects

Given that reducing portion sizes is a well-proven strategy for weight loss, cabbage bolognese seems a perfect choice.

Definitely one of those things better taught than learned by experience

I know a person who does this, Carinthia. He’s doing it now and, fortunately, I can’t visit his stinky home on account of The Plague. Yay! Every cloud…

You have to be there. Hey - I’ll get you an invite after The Plague!

Thing is - he loses weight fantastically well and then puts it right back on again once back on his normal diet, but with a bit more on top (and underneath). Azz he izz one of my Favourite People, this bothers me, but I say nowt. Azz one does.

Firstly - the ‘underneath’ fat is of the visceral kind (which one can imagine) and, secondly, I am a ‘respectable’ Bee, of course. Gin ?
