assistant: Strange things are happening. Today, I downloaded the Cooking
Conference echo; it had 200 messages, which is saturation level
for the BBS, so I guess I lost a lot. Sure looks like it when
they are referring to other messages that I never saw.
And International Cooking (this one) had only your eight

Cooking Conf.

      Title: Parsnip Soup
 Categories: Soup
      Yield: 4 Servings
     25 g  Butter
      1    Onion, chopped
    450 g  Parsnips, sliced
      1 l  Chicken or vegetable stock
           Salt
           Cayenne pepper
    150 ml Cream or plain yogurt
      1 tb Horseradish cream (optional)
      2 tb Pine nuts (optional)
  Melt the butter in a large saucepan, add the onion and parsnips, cook
  over a gentle heat for 10 minutes, turning frequently to coat them in
  the butter. Add the stock, and salt and cayenne pepper to taste.
  Bring to the boil, lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes until the
  parsnips are very soft. Allow to cool slightly and puree in a
  blender, or rub through a sieve. Reheat to just below boiling point,
  then stir in the horseradish and most of the cream or yogurt,
  reserving about 2 tb for the garnish. Meanwhile, spread out the
  pinenuts in a grill pan, and toast under a hot grill until golden.
  Ladle the soup into individual bowls and top with a swirl of cream
  and a sprinkling of pinenuts.

here is pretty spotty when it comes to culinary terms.
They make that stuff over there too?  Pity!  What a waste of raspberries!
Oh, the good ones?  In the US, the only gherkins usually available are the
sweet kind.  I hate them.:-)
Thanks for the corrections; it's been a loooooooooong time since I studied
any of this, and kitchen German was not included in the lessons.

  How about this one....

assistant: Groundnuts are peanuts;that one's easy.  The second one is identified
as a sweet pea in my dictionary,but I'll bet they're really snow peas,
if not something else entirely.
They could also be a bean of some sort, according to Larousse, but if
the snow peas make sense, it's probably that.....
