I'm browning everything for the flavour :-) and the neck is getting an hour and a half longger :-)
I do love barley in a stew but am not putting it in because it will make it less versatile to alter the flavour at a later date, such as if I decide to curriefie a portion.

chinese/asian supermarkets have it mostly
if you're lucky, you might find it in sainsbury's.
there's a big chinese warehouse place not too far from me, plus chinatown is half an hour on the bus.

Loads of chinese and indian shops down here, I'll pop in and have a look.....
Sounds ideal for me as it says it harmonize sweet, sour, salty and spicy which a lot of my dishes are....
I'm off to start chopping...

Not a fan of asafoetida
it has a funny smell that I just can't get past.
