Never doubted you for a minute, oud sauw. I want to try it for myself; sounds intriguing!

Now, what constitutes a "bunch of small carrots"? Is that about 1/2 lb. American? 1/3 lb? 1 lb?

Sorry none of you could make it for supper. We decided to forget the strog. and ended up with macaroni and cheese instead. Bowtie pasta, little flecks of ham. Loverly.
