Onions, Im only saying what ive seen and tried to find out, If i could really find out i would be more than happy to share, Dont forget this is a multi million pound industry and do you really think they are going to give some secret away just like that, I very much doubt it, And if most the experts on here have cracked it why keep coming on here,

I know many forum member have put there heart and soul in to getting behind the scenes, Being Shown how to cook by bir chefs, They have been shown how to make mix powder, But you can bet its not the mix powder they would use,

When we pull the plug on the bathtub down here the water swirls clockwise so I always stir my onions the other way, but I'm left handed so it's difficult to do that unless I put my right foot slightly forward of the left.  This is very uncomfortable for me since my left cashew is higher than the right and my Mahatma Gandhi has the opposite bent to what you'd expect for someone with a condition such as mine.  My hernia mucks up terribly if the weather is on a decreasing barometer and with wind out of, well you'd have to listen to 12th man.  RingStinger might know what I'm talking about.

I've found that wearing no shoes helps and I always check the temperature of my aluminium pan by burning a centipede to death. If it dies in 3.5 seconds the aluminium pan is too hot so I put my onions into the steel wok and continue on as though the centipede had it coming anyway.

Sadly none of this helps.

I'm sure the "5% missing" figure was mentioned about 10 years ago on this forum. Yet despite all the books - many of which seem to be quite highly regarded, you may be right that in some ways there's been zero progress.  I never did accept the 5% figure. It should be more like 10% or 20% missing - 10 years ago, and still missing today, based on various comments.

I Couldnt agree more, I know 100% unless you get the mix powder right your not going to get that elusive taste, I know because ive been told, Maybe its some food flavouring, Who knows. For all the mix powders ive tried over 25 years none have come near,

You may be barking up the wrong tree there Mike, after all those years

I know for a FACT that the missing 6.3% is in the brand of tomato puree used. You see the chef's cooking in a  kitchen they always take it directly from already opened jars, you never see those jars being opened though, do you? Or delivered for that matter.
