Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

— Giveaway UPDATE —

I’ve really enjoyed the entries in the GAW so far, y’all have done a great job with your condiment-and-Lambsfoot posts. As promised, I’d like to offer everyone a chance for a second entry.

While the giveaway theme was open to any kind of condiment, many of you, perhaps unsurprisingly, opted to share some kind of hot sauce. And when you’re eating spicy food, you pretty much have to have a beverage to go with it, right? So for a second entry, let’s see a beverage and Lambsfoot pic. It can be alcoholic, non-alcoholic, maybe you need a tall glass of milk if you’ve been using some of that really hot hot sauce… whatever you like, as long as it’s a beverage.

Here are a couple I’ve posted here before, just to get things started.

And just to clarify, no, Henderson’s Relish does not count as a beverage. 😉😁

You and Pat are fearless my friend! :D Mint sauce is still widely available here, though I never cared for it. Londoners traditionally eat something similar, which they call 'liquor' (traditionally, it is made with parsley, rather than mint), with meat pie and mashed potatoes :rolleyes: Cool pic there :) :thumbsup:


Ethan's looking good! :) :thumbsup:

Amazing! I feel I'd be hard pressed to find a local restauranteur who could put their hand on their heart and say "I know exactly what has gone into it."

I suppose what I find so strange about the whole mint jelly thing is that somehow along the way it lost its acid entirely! When I think about herb-based condiments, be they composed mainly of mint, parsley, basil, etc - and across varied regions and cultures, it seems like acid is nearly compulsory: Latin America's Mojo Criollo has Naranja Agria ( aka Sour Orange) and Chimichurri is vinegar heavy, the sauce in London pie shops, lots of citrus and rice wine vinegar in Asian condiments - and then, in contrast, we've got this shocking-colored sugar jelly with a hint of mint! 🤣

Interesting observation Will, you're right, it has certainly come a long way from the original influence. I would rather have gravy with my pie, but the liquor was originally made with eel juice I believe, as the pie and mash shops, of which London once had hundreds, if not thousands, also sold eel. You can't buy that kind of liquor in supermarkets, and so mint sauce is often substituted, but they don't seem to have much in common at all. Otherwise, mint sauce is only eaten with lamb here, and lamb has been in decline as a choice for a traditional roast, for decades here. I hope you'll come back and tell us about your mint jelly experiment! :D :thumbsup:

I couldn't resist watching this! 🤣
