I also thought it looked good, and I prefer having larger size pieces of
vegetables in a stew, otherwise (to me) it's "soup" not stew. I use larger
"boiler" onions in stew that are probably about the same size that Sheldon
used.

My only other comment, but not a criticism, is that I prefer stew made with
a brown base, not tomato, although I sometimes put small diced tomatoes in
it that have been well-drained.
