You know how leeks can get soil between the layers?
I chopped and washed mine, sauteed them in a little butter with a couple of twists of black pepper - this to make leek sauce.
The phone rang and I spent 5 mins talking to a friend.
When I came back to the leek pan I saw all this dirt amongst the leeks.
With a huge sigh I washed it all off and started again - only to remember - but too late - it wasn't soil, it was black pepper.
