Yay common ground Sareitha Sedai Send a noteboard - 09/03/2010 05:42:54 PM
Okay, anyone who buys pre-chopped veggies for soup automatically forfeits the right to call that product 'homemade'.


Okay, so I have some stock in my freezer from going all Betty Crocker and making it from scratch a few weeks back. I've been crazy busy at work this week and I stop on the way home and buy some pre-chopped onions, carrots and celery (and the ingredients list only the veggies). Is my soup more or less homemade than Avendesora's? :D Is there a meaningful difference in the quality and taste between buying the veggies and chopping them myself and buying them pre-chopped? ;)

Anyone who buys pre-cooked meat for soup (as opposed to raw or cooked but leftover from a previous meal) also forfeits any right to titling that soup 'homemade'


This I can agree with, with no qualifiers.

Well, now, in my reply to Celia I express that same point, so we have some common ground here. I said it still qualifies as homemade when the convenience isn't sacrificing any meaningful control on the final product.


:)

No, not the only factor, merely an example, and of course in a case like the one I cited, one should properly be saying 'Here's some sandwiches, the bread is homemade' or the jelly is homemade, I mean it's really about citing the most by-scratch item in the product. 'This is home-churned butter' or 'I grew these in the garden'. That sort of thing.


Ah, I see.

If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.
