Haggis, that is. I’ve heard haggis described as “a sheep, turned inside out”. Traditionally consisting of all the bits of a sheep you weren’t going to serve up in recognizable form (the “offal”) made into a sausage and cooked in the sheep’s stomach. Well, you asked.

So glad someone of influence reads the blog, and got the memo… (though I still did not find any coconut milk)
One of these years (evidently, not this one), I’m going to get better at starting meal planning from what’s available, instead of working from recipes and engaging in elaborate scavenger hunts to find the set ingredients. Now, it’s not the south of France or anything, but there is a summer Farmer’s Market on Grand Manan, [...]

It started innocently enough, with the duck thing, and slid right along with the roast turkey challenge. Then there was the choux done proper-like: to accompany the rock cornish hens (stand ins for perdrix this year): (There is cabbage in there, between the hen-halves & the toast points: trust me!). Finally, for good measure, [...]
Merry merry! Best wishes of the season. It’s certainly been merry here. An important point about message fragmentation. Here are 2 very different messages, each starting with the same first chunk: We found the roasting pan we thought we’d given away. We found the roasting pan we thought we’d given away, but it’s not in [...]
