What a wonderfully easy way to have a clean out!
Like you said no problem getting the right salt. The corner shop - which is a rip off compared to the supermarkets - sold 500gms (about a pound & a quarter) of Guérande for less than €1.50 (around $2). Maybe I should start an export business.
Didn't find getting it down real difficult, told myself someone put too much salt in the consomée! I think I'd have had the same problem drinking 1 ltr of warm water in one go. Precisely on the hour went for the first time; gooey brown/yellow liquid with some soft brown blobs. Same second time, then just liquid getting paler and paler. Though it had stopped after 1 1/2 hrs, but every time I have a drink of warm water (dreadful thirst)it seems to turn the tap on again! Dont mind, there's no discomfort, just wondered if I should try to hold of drinking until its all calmed down?
Now I really feel hungry, for the first time in a week+. I really fancy sweet and sour chicken with brown rice. Would that be pushing it?
A million thanks to you guys, I've gone from real miserable to bouncy in less than 3 hours.
