The famous SOAP dish

Our daughters make similar, with pork, apples, onions, sage, pepper, and rice -- much more salted broth for the rice to finish.

I looked up my SOAP recipe today, I planned it for tomorrow before this thread started.

It is called 'casserole of pork with apple and sage', but the recipe includes onions, However it is, as it says a casserole and uses diced pork. I will cook it long and slow in my slow cooker - and when cooked I may well stir some cream through it.

I have been on GN since a few weeks after it began and have never come across SOAP. I still do not see what is so special about it. I am sure there are lots of recipes lists of ingredients can be treated as anagrams and produce words.

Not that I am going to try, better things to do

Glad to see you seem to have changed your mind M0nica

PS, we’ll be having it with lots of nice fresh sprouts - dh’s favourite veg, believe it or not!

Bought some pork chops specially today - we’ll have it tomorrow night. It’s not often I find a new recipe I really fancy, so thanks v much for posting!

I love it, as did DH. But I gently stew it on the hob and serve it with baked potatoes. (I hate making mash, DH was in charge of that if he wanted any, poor man). Same difference….

I do a very similar dish only with leeks instead of onions and cider instead of water. I serve it with dark greens, as recommended by FGT2.

Ha!

Yes it’s not a ‘real’ acronym as such. Just me, years ago, being silly. I used to just call it pork & apple with I made it but then rearranged the components to remind me what to buy … sage, onions, apples and pork. I like it with hot buttered dark green cabbage best. 😊

I do the SOAP dish regularly it’s lovely.

Thanks FGT or Urms 🤗

It’s still funny after all this time seeing MrOops face when I tell him we’re having the Soap dish for dinner, he never remembers.

Sounds yum, I’ll try it. That recipe someone gave with sweet chilli sauce and panko crumbs in the air fryer is good. It is now entrenched in our family.

I don’t eat meat, but surely it can’t take 2 hours to cook chops in the oven?

Totally daft isn’t it grammarderby10 I have learned to ignore it and never use the darling bit , nor the initials in general I think it’s just copying Mumsnet and we don’t have to copy anyone I ve never been on another forum that uses them When I read a post I just skip over the initials

I can usually decode the acronyms- like a puzzle sometimes🙃
It’s the “dear” business that gets my goat. I have never referred to anyone I know in normal speech as that.

I love Gransnet but hate the acronyms. Why do people use them rather than writing the actual words ?
This is the only site where acronyms are used so much and I cannot understand why. Does anyone know the answer ?

You don’t have to use them.
It’s not compulsory.

Convenience, I guess? You've obviously never been on Mumsnet then - they love an acronym over there!

Apologies Allira.

That's ok 🐱

I was being a bit dense as I've seen FriedGreenTomatoes2 post. Just didn't work it out.

Apologies Allira.

I shall try it

Pork steaks will be on my next shopping list.

But not to all of us 🙂
And it doesn't mean those who did not know what the acronyms mean are sourpusses

Oh dear there are a couple of sourpusses on this thread.
SOAP dish is well known to most of us as,
is the GN originator FriedGreenTomatoes (and her previous name 😜 )

Eh? ?

Ha, this has come at just the right time! I bought pork steaks on Saturday, and will make this tomorrow, nay, why wait till tomorrow? I'll have it today!
Looking forward to dinner now!
