Now put on Vee lg pot of watter to hot up. Chop up the following into nice bite sized chunks:
20 lbs onion 20 lbs carrots 10 lbs swede 10 lbs white cabbage 10 lbs leeks
Add each to the pot as it becomes ready. Also add 4 lbs pot barley and 2 lbs of snipped up parsley,
ignoring Ogden Nash's strictures.* Add salt and pepper to taste. Iffn yoo carnt stand tha ladle up
in the pot, add more veggies.
While this cooks, make 20 loaves of Ploughman's Lunch Bread **, or Dwarf Bread.***
