The general trend seems to be that continentals have great fun laughing at haggis, wheeling out with glee the old joke: "When I saw it, I though it was shit, and when I tasted it I wished it was". And then they taste it and they actually realise it's very yummy and not so far removed from one of THEIR local dishes.......https://www.blogger.com/profile/12459690684592261821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-85219436108703861652008-01-26T10:31:00.000+00:002008-01-26T10:31:00.000+00:00Donds for nilpferd's first comment.

Reading the cookery blog whence I filched this picture, it's from a posh Edinburgh restaurant in Nicholson Street. But I respect Nilpferd's traditionalist approach that you should just have three assorted piles on your plate - an' nae green stuff!! Now off to the challenge of the day - finding turnip in a French supermarket. It's called 'navet' and you can get very small ones about the size of potatoes. Think I may have to drive over the Rhine to get some decent ones. Nilpferd - forgotten what turnip is in German.......https://www.blogger.com/profile/12459690684592261821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-9374781366751319112008-01-25T22:39:00.000+00:002008-01-25T22:39:00.000+00:00Doesn't matter how you dress it up, FP, it's never...Doesn't matter how you dress it up, FP, it's never gonna be oat cuisine!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-75062255966937938242008-01-25T21:41:00.000+00:002008-01-25T21:41:00.000+00:00Ach well.
