Humanoids prefer the name of grub for their gruel. Usually gruel is made of water, some grain, and some flour to thicken it up. If one is rich, a little sugar is added for flavor, or maybe a veggie or two and make it a thick soup. Tomato Gruel Fry some tomatoes in a butter and sugar sauce until they seem right. About three medium sized tomatoes sliced into 1/2 inch pieces should do the trick. A tin of canned tomatoes will work but only the rich can affored canned tomatoes and why would the rich want to make greul. Put stuff in a pot, and bring to stirring temperature. Add a bit of meat extract, a drop or 3 of Worchester sauce, a pinch of salt and pepper, some fruit chutney and some ketchup (to taste). Also add something else laying around the home thats been never tried before, but not too much of it. Let the stuff "prut" for 10 minutes or so, to let all the flavours mix thoroughly. Mix with some grain, rice, bread crumbs, and/or meat chunks. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SPECIAL THANKS Johan Hartzenberg (INTERNET: HARTZ@wwg3.uovs.ac.za) for his Tomato Gruel reciepe. -----------------------------------------------------------------------
