It is not elegant, as we see it, but it is enchanting. A 'comfort' dressing if you like. I expect many things could be added, we never did but we didn't have the additives. No, thats not right, we did, but we didn't know what they were. Bell peppers were grown ornamentally, but they became missiles for the boys of that era. My uncles. But that was a long time ago, 1915-20 or so. In any event nothing much than plain food was available then. Or used. Nanna had salt and pepper. She had nutmeg and cinnimon. Rice was never used. But we did have mashed dry pumpkin with a dollop of butter and a memory of nutmeg. It was so good. As was the food in general from that time.
