Great diet plan!

You don't get it over there.

You can get it at some butchers shops in the big cities, but not in all the supermarkets like in Scotland.
...and I've never seen black pudding over here (another thing I really like).

English wasn't designed.

Nope, there was a huge pile-up where Celts clashed with Romans, then were rammed by Angles, Saxons, and Jutes, then hit in the side by Danes and Norwegians before getting run over by the Normans. The carnage left by all this is called English.

With haggis, the neeps are typically mashed, I generally add a splash of milk and a good hunk of butter, just like the tatties.

That's the way to do it.

Honestly, I really like haggis.

It's just something you don't get over here, what we had last night was tinned stuff we brought home from 'home'.

And no black pudding either

We have a "Scottish and Irish" shop here that carries all of that stuff...and that horrible softdrink they like over there...Irn-Bru

I call them neeps or turnips, some call them swedes, and Canadians call them rutabagas...

Not this Canadian....turnip it is!

I can assure you there are some "yum" Swedes, too... But mashed swedes are most definitely yum-yum! Add a splash of cream, a pinch of salt, and you'll have the most wonderful companion to pinnekjøtt. Or if you can't have that, bacon will do just fine, of course.

Looking forward to our Christmas dinner already. Or Midwinter blót if you like

Who knew!

Makes sense to me. When I eat it's usually because I'm hungry. When I'm hungry I'm not in the mood for taking pictures. I don't like being hungry. So I eat the food.

Then, when I'm no longer hungry I can enjoy taking pictures. Of landscapes. Or other stuff that ain't food.

Besides: no pictures, no calories. A logical consequence of "pictures or it didn't happen", right?

....the Beef Bourguignon was delicious....Parsnips no swedes
