"Champit Neeps" are turnips (or if you are British - swede, or if you are Canadian - rutabaga), mashed with salt, pepper, butter, sour cream and cream cheese, spread in a baking pan, add some white sauce and grated cheese on top, and bake in the oven. Yummy!<BR/>The traditional ingredients in Haggis are sheep's heart, liver and lungs, minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, and traditionally boiled in a covering of a sheep's stomach for approximately three hours. Sounds awful, right? I don't know that the haggis we had at our Burns Supper were made this way, I don't think it would contain lungs.<BR/>Biker Bob.... the coleslaw is cold, not hot. Even Robbie Burns himself wouldn't eat hot coleslaw.<BR/>Peter in Paris.... did you find anywhere in Paris serving haggis on Robbie Burns Day?Shammickitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11969803866899076638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3154204376346679777.post-50233017320534865722008-01-26T08:57:00.000-05:002008-01-26T08:57:00.000-05:00Mashed titties, Champit neeps...I need a Scottish-...Mashed titties, Champit neeps...I need a Scottish-English dictionary!<BR/><BR/>It sounds like a fun celebration, (any excuse to party is fine with me,) Robbie would be proud!
