General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

To put herbs and other flavours in a traditional dish is a sin. A 'sin' I tell you! Everything in it's place.
Hot Pot is a basic meal and should taste as such. It's not a curry dish, or an Italian. I can't stand something not tasting like it's meant to be. I had some custard the other day, I could taste almond flavour in it!
Mint flavoured chocolate? Mint flavoured toffee?
If you want mint, buy mint. Not chocolate!
Baaaah, Humbug! ("mint or chocolate flavoured, Sir"?)
