 All right, I admit I made a mistake cooking this as well as all the
 other The maxim that 'serves 4' is in fact referring to a bunch of
 anorexic sparrows and most humans prefer to eat more than a tablespoon
 of something, doesn't always work. Can I interest anybody in a kilo of
 nutty potatoes and a large bowl of Mahal Kidney Beans that even I am
 too stuffed to eat? (mournful full meeping noise)
