[ Sherlock has no right to be in charge of a meal, and indeed, he wasn't in charge from the beginning. However, someone told him to watch the pot and add in the starch to thicken the liquid while they got another part of the meal ready....
Now the pot has changed to an unappetizing beige color, and the occasional bubble that rises to the surface bursts and oozes from the viscous liquid. To Sherlock's credit, he's not trying to pass this off as acceptable. He's puzzled and concerned at this turn of events. ]
It was my understanding that starches are used to thicken up soups and stews.
[ Creating a roux or slurry with the starches first is not a step Sherlock had considered. He also should not have added so much all at once. ]
