Chef's Tips
Taid is the Welsh word for Grandfather. Taid was not a great cook but occasionally he would don an apron and take to the kitchen. All help was refused when the cooking mood took him.
He produced the most wonderful fried (sauted) potatoes which I loved especially late on a Sunday evening ... it also put off the inevitable bedtime when a school day followed.
Pickled ox tongue was another of his productions and also treacle toffee. I don't think I remember him producing an entire meal, ever, but of his repetoire it's this parsnip soup that lives on in my taste buds!
Absolutely loved this soup its my new favourite thanks!
