What a shame that the stew was so bad. Maybe you should give them credit
for having tried to do stew. I learned to like stew, and how to make
good stew, thanks to me wife, who is the braising queen. Fact is that
most stew I had as a kid was not very good. As much as I enjoy the
stews that my wife and I make, my paste experience is such that I can't
imagine eating it in a restaurant because I would not expect it to be good.
