Leek soup on St. David's Day is one of our Welsh family traditions, and in college I attempted to make it for the first time on my own. It's hard to mess up, and I didn't - it was good! - but I also made the same amount that my family usually makes for a whole group because I had no concept of proportions - probably like 20+ servings. My eight other college housemates dutifully each ate a little bit, but without the rest of the fixings (rarebit on fresh bread, welsh cakes, etc.), third and fourth servings were a hard sell. I put myself on a 3-soup-a-day diet for a week. I've since mastered the rest of the SDD meal and it is much easier to give away now.
