Dry Sherry.

[ummmm]

Can it be substituted with something else?

[tiggerblue10]

Port maybe?

[dzug2]

Anything you like.

I suppose it depends what you are using it for. But not much.

[ummmm]

I'm making a crab and sweetcorn soup which calls for 50ml of dry sherry. I'm not buying a whole bottle for such a small amount.

I'll go to the pub if it can't be substituted.

[Tilly2]

Would dry cider be suitable? It would be cheaper.

[ummmm]

I really don't know. I've never tried sherry.

[sandyRoe]

Go to your local and buy a glass of dry sherry to take out?

[grasscarp]

Just be careful not to open a second tin of sweetcorn!

[pastafreak]

A very dry white wine might be ok.

[sandyRoe]

could soy sauce serve as a substitute?

[aelmpvw]

i'm sure a non-alcoholic crab and sweetcorn soup would be just as tasty

Get a bottle of dry sherry.

Use wat you need.

Drink the rest over ice on Sunday lunch time.

You should have dry sherry in your fridge. Always.

[Buenchico]

A dry white wine, reduced to about half its volume by heating in a saucepan might taste fairly similar or, as been suggested, dry cider might work.

[MadMen]

JJ, dry sherry is minging on it's own! :((

I'd go with dry white wine.

[ummmm]

I'll do that then. I can drink the rest :-)

[jomifl]

Ummmm, I don't think you would notice that tiny amount of sherry, it's only an egg cup full. If you must, a combination of pasta's and sandy's might do the trick, the proportions might be a bit tricky though.

[MadMen]

Well, I was gonna say that... :-)

[MadMen]

P.S I think grasscarp should get best answer :D

// dry sherry is minging //

I don't think that was the advertising slogan used by Tio Pepe.

[joggerjayne]

umms ... buy the dry sherry. It will change your weekends for the better.

Dont bother with "named" brands. Go for an own brand Fino. Waitrose Fino is fab.

[MadMen]

"I don't think that was the advertising slogan used by Tio Pepe."

Er yes. Yes it definitely was.

Stop trying to turn ummmm into a sherry drinker.
