I shared this some folks on another board and several questions arose:

1) Whereinell do you get a stewpot this size and what do you heat it with. One suggestion was a surplus LST, gutted of course.

2) Who gets to wash it when its over?

1) New use for the London Melenium Dome!

2) The next tsunami!

Forget it, I'm not going to make that stew, I hate parsley.

Would that be a "Daphne Whitethigh"* receipe?

* For those Brits old enough, think "Round the Horne", for those slightly younger, think BBC7, Wednesdays 12:00 hrs local (at present 12:00hrs BST/11:00hrs GMT, also available on-line for 7 days from 1 hr after the above times)
