Dear Mr Google
I am the founder of the Society for the Preservation of Organic Old
Foods.
SPOOF. We try to encourage the eating of good nourishing foods rather than
the factory produced mass meals of today.
The internet is ideal for spreading our message and the garnering of good
recipes via search engines including you own is invaluable.
One of the recipes SPOOF encourages is a soup named after the Royal town
of
Windsor. Indeed the soup was served to the guests of Queen Victoria. It is
not widely known however because it is untrue that a diplomatic incident
occurred at the Castle when Brown Windsor Soup was actually served to the
French ambassador without horseradish dumplings!
Now our society is not best pleased by Google.
For several months typing " Windsor Soup" into Google and hitting " I feel
lucky" took the searcher to www.windsorsoup.co.uk where the recipe was
available with a recipe for the dumplings.
Now the poor public is taken to a commercial called foodnetwork.com where
a
celebrity chef no-one has heard of gives the recipe.
Three points.
1 Emril Largasse is obviously French and therefore cannot be trusted to
cook
Brown Windsor Soup.
2.He suggests the use of sirloin steak. This is grossly extravagant. Diced
stewing steak is quite adequate.
3. Nowhere does he give the recipe for the dumplings despite the
diplomatic
incident.
I therefore suggest that you revert to your former position and put
www.windsorsoup.co.uk back to number one so that when people hit " I feel
lucky" they can be again
Yours
