Boo hoo....Tea loaf disaster

[crofter-amy]

What was the pot made of and was the soup left in it? If you leave soup in an aluminium pot it goes yukky fast.

its stainless steel?

 

but the last time i put it into a jug and kept it in the fridge and it was fine,

was going to do that tonight when it had gone down a bit so it could fit into the jug

 

guess i was too slow

 

thanks looks like that cud possibly be the problem

[nautim]

neep, onion carrots and tatties

 

Might have been the neeps - Jemima Walterson from Scalloway used to say they were inclined to go sour in soup, particularly if you were making the soup the day before, so we would make soup, then add the neeps the next day. Sometimes she would use frozen ones rather than fresh if she thought they weren't good enough quality.

 

Mind you - she also had a very particular method of stirring soup. Pity help you if she found you stirring it wrongly...

[Noodeyn]

I did winder aboot da neep! It wisna at it's best.. Hmm

[Skyumpi]

I've heard neeps blamed for spoiling soup overnight as well. Don't know if it belongs in the Old Wives Tales thread or not but I'm pretty sure it's happened to me as well.

[mogling]

Yup- heard that about neeps in soup too- it's supposed to not sour if you leave it uncovered after?

 

Or, if you have pets- put a bit of kitchen roll or tea towel over it, rather than an airtight lid maybe?
