For decades I have been looking for a simile for frits. This morning,
puttering with a Boeug en Daube, I thought SOUPCUBE!!!!
Does that work for you experts? For you newbies? (Not the beef, for pity's
sake, great Eliz. David recipe)
A soupcube is a bunch of not necessarily accessible ingredients combined in
a cube. When the cube is added to a soup or sauce, it disintegrates and
joins the other ingredients in making up the final product. While the cube
imparts characteristics these could be imparted by the ingredients added in
their natural state each by itself.
A frit is a bunch of ingredients combined into a glass/glaze. This frit is
added to a glaze, disintegrates in the firing and contributes to the final
product. It imparts characteristics etc etc....
Does that work for you?

Dear Lily Krakowski,
No Lili. They are mixtures. Look at the contents Might be good for Salt =
Glazing though.
I think a better metaphor is Stock. Raw ingredient, blended and melded =
by heat into a homogeneous substance which releases the vital qualities =
of all the other ingredients.
