I outlined the non-tfk nature of the celery in the first post. It was a choice I made fully aware of the possible ramifications. In other news, Iāve added in some meridian peanut butter(smooth variety) and about 4 chocolate buttons in the meantime with the purpose of enriching/thickening it. I canāt fucking wait for dinner.

Iāll field this one, seeing as itās my curry. Itās down below, in the midst of it. I tend to poke it down with the spoon if itās portruding to ensure it doesnāt get dried/crusty. This is probable unnecessary given the thickness of this curry but old habits die hard.
Ah is fucking in the jar of sauce not cheating, buddy?
I did a beef casserole last weekend. 6.5 hours on high but when I went to plate up the carrots and turnip were still hard. Had to give it half an hour on the hob to soften them a bit. Would you parboil root veg before putting them in the slow cooker?
No itās not. Iām not a fuckin monk. Iām about getting a tasty curry.
I honestly have no idea how your root veg could still be hard after 6 hours on high. That sounds like a broken machine.

Problem is with the slow cooker rather than the slow cooker Iād say.

How did the buttons turn out
It was absolutely savage. A perfect curry. Iād heard before of fellas putting chocolate in chillies but it was my first time doing it.

I put some very dark chocolate or cocoa powder in chillies or beef stews. Buttons is just wrong though.
Would 4 buttons thicken a pot of curry that size? I have been using bread soda or flour to thicken sauces but this looks a handier option if it works.
Bread soda? Do you mean corn starch / flour?
Hopefully heās been using baking soda 
No. I put in some peanut butter as well. The 4 buttons were less by design and more incidental. I had taken them from the little ladyās bag of buttons the previous day because I didnāt want her eating too much chocolate.

Good stuff - I suspected as much. The thought of that acidic taste in a nice sauceā¦ 
I have a big pot of ragĆ¹ on at the minute. Freshly minced shin beef and pork, passata, chopped tomatoes, carrot, onion, celery, stock, milk and white wine. They smell is unreal, unbelievable. Thereās loads here, so @Ambrose_McNulty and @KinvarasPassion youāre more than welcome to call in.
