Well, you just have to - haggis, neeps and tatties and greens. Favourite bit was neeps and tatties - victims favourite bit was "spreading the joy" - or passing left over (mammoth) haggis over fence to lovely neighbours. Trust us to get a Haggis for 10, for 2 ... was going to be more, but due to lack of organisation was low key! The haggis for 10. would, in my estimation serve at least 12 - and more like 18-20. Servings so far... 2 x "live", 2 x packed dinners for nuking, 2 x very happy dogs & very large plateful emigrated next door.
Just to note, weekend "victims" have reported that they didn't feel like victims - which, of course, is good - but is making me rethink the tone of the narration - after all, it's only very rarely that we lock them in and force new foodstuffs upon them ;).
Surprise visit from victims with particular requirements - veggie and low fat/ low sugar. So butter bean casserole, brown rice and cavolo nero followed by poached pear. Too much chatting going on to remember to take pics at the time - but as I often do, I saved my pud and ate it cold today. Victims had seconds of firsts, as it were, and gave the pears a big thumbs up. Pears were poached in cranberry and blackcurrant juice with root ginger and cinnamon. After eating mine today, even cold, I concur with their view. Carrot muffins recipe came with organic veg box, and has been taken away as approval was so strong. It was from Abel and Cole, so maybe it will be on the website soon. http://www.abelandcole.co.uk/
You will eat vegetables... leek and potato soup, (3+); hunter casserole and steamed veg ... (onion, mushroom, pepper, celery, tomato, green beans, carrot, fennel, peas (9)) ... ha - 5 a day! ha! Gathered victims bemoaned lack of Sunday roast... tough folkies - this was better for you!
