Wether your Stew be Chilli Con Carni or Chicking Curry or Sweet and Sour Pork or just a basic thing with some minced beef, oxo cubes, carrots, leeks, potatoes, pearl barley and assorted vegetables along with a packet of crofters vegtible soup.
As a batchelor on the dole you will probably be forced to make one that is going to feed you for a week.
