When Colly’s recipe was leaked onto the internet, every stew fan in the world was secretly glad. They scribbled it down into their notebooks faster than you could say Jack Robinson. Ultimately, in their haste, some of the ingredients got mixed up. In this case, home made chilli oil and English mustard joined the ranks.

Despite the fact that the added ingredients did not at all hinder the taste of the final product, historians are keen to point out the lack of authenticity. It is a well known fact that Colly could be seen running, as if for his life, away from anyone who pulled out a chilli from their bag of shopping.

The boiling of the prepared stew for a long period of time can be problematic. One may have to physically restrain loved ones from lunging into the kitchen in a zombie-like state with a mind to devour, once the smell of the reducing red wine starts to seep its way into the living quarters. Be warned!

Be sure to make enough stew for extra helpings, fellow diners will almost certainly be seen to unnecessarily gorge themselves like pigs in order to consume as much of this wintery dish as possible. Arm the butler with a baton to prevent riots.
