I fixed neeps and tatties for Thanksgiving, and everybody really liked them.

I've tried Irn Bru and I really like it (reminds me of Big Red soda). Kinda taste like fruity bubblegum.

If butteries are baps, then I've eaten everyone, except tunnocks caramel wafers.

And BTW, baps are one of my "goto" bread roll recipes when I back rolls.

It almost deserves it's own thread (although I was thinking of a recipe thread in DIY - but then didn't because it's not something you wear).

Here's the result of my first cased haggis.




Warm, reekin', rich!


recipe is simple...
1lbs heart
1/2lbs liver
1lbs mince
1/2lbs suet
1.5 cup oats
1 large onion
16oz broth (I used oxtail broth for the gelatin) + 1 cup water + 1 tsp salt
1 tsp fresh grated nutmeg
1 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne
1 tsp fresh ground dry rosemary
1 tsp salt

soak/prep your casing of choice (in the US you pretty much have collagen bologona casings (as shown) or beef bung.
toast oats for 10min in an oven heated to 350*
boil heart and liver for 30min with the broth, water, and 1tsp salt
grind the cold suet first, followed by the heart and liver, go ahead and run the onions through the grinder too, add broth until the mixture is a "goop" then add the oats and spices. Mix it well (I used a dough hook in the mixer), and pack it into your casing, leaving about 2/3rds volume "loose" so the end product doesn't pop during the boil.

Gentle boil for 1 1/2 hours.

Eat.

More like a round croissant that isnt flaky and has too much lard.

Rumour has it that fishermen wanted to take bread out with them, buy it tended to get stale... they came up with a solution...

Butteries Oh My! I remember as a child going to a bakery in St Monance or Monans in Fife to get butteries and rolls first thing in the morning so that they were fresh out of the oven. I can smell and taste them now. As for the rest we used to have a "proper" Scottish baker here in Doncaster but he closed more is the pity. I am in mourning.

All this talk of butteries I'm going to have to pop into my local baker and pick up some for my self tomorrow
