In this episode, Amanda tells the story of Nail Soup, based on an old Scandinavian folk tale....

When an old tramp stumbles across a cottage in a forest on a cold Winters night, he asks the old woman who lives there for a bed and to warm his toes by her fire. Reluctantly she agrees.

In return for her hospitality, he offers to make Nail Soup!

All he needs is a pan, some water and a 4 inch nail…….and maybe a few other bits and bobs to bring out the flavour!
