The famous SOAP dish

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.

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

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 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.

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 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.

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….

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!

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

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

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

Correction: To finish -- on time. Creme fraiche over, to serve.

RoseMaw2 No change of mind, I had just never heard the term SOAP used to describe the dish, and now I have, I have no intention of using it. it would ruin a really nice casserole. To me it will remain 'a casserole of pork with apple and sage.

Made it last night, with a couple of pork chops, not cut up. Worked v well.

Glad you enjoyed it Witzend! It’s so easy isn’t it? Hardly any effort which suits my nature.

Oh dear M0nica, I hardly think a jokey (but useful acronym) name is likely to spoil a good recipe!
If so, what hope is there for Spotted Dick or Betty’s Leg - even Toad in the Hole ?

Ooh, what’s Betty’sLeg?

Yes, definitely one for the repertoire! Only slight issue for me, is that I do the bulk of my food shopping in Asda, where most or all of the pork is from EU countries well known (or notorious) for factory farming, so I have to go further into town, to M&S or Waitrose.

It’s the “dear” business that gets my goat. I have never referred to anyone I know in normal speech as that.

The D can also stand for damned, dratted or a whole lot of other adjectives (if they are still called adjectives and haven't morphed into co-additive descriptors or some similar neologism).

On first reading the title I thought it was a mis-spelling of SPO - Sausages, Potato, and Onion.

Also lovely with drained, rinsed, sauteed sauerkraut - below the browned rice, chopped onions, apples, sage, and pork. German method.

When I first encountered ‘dh’ on a forum, well over 20 years ago now, I thought the ‘d’ stood for ‘dopey’!
