Only just found this thread .. What fun.
Sure I can do roast beef, but it will be cokked in the oven, does that count?

Will there be  Yorkshire pudding?  If  so it is fine. You are on the list but it might be Dec before we get there.  Wonder where we will have Christmas?

DJ, I'll have to liaise with you to get the 'doings' for the haggis!  Do you slaughter your own meat - for that matter, are you allowed to slaughter your own animals?

[droverjess]

Cuilidh No we send to an abattoir. No allowed to do own slaughtering in UK, except chickens.

We only have our own beef. The sheep belong to the boss. We don't have pigs.

Where are you? A local abattoir should supply all you need. The one we use would I am sure.

Yes of course YORKIES Gert can't have any other. If December we will be having RIB of beef at some point so will make for good pics. However I don't make them in  either too muchnwashing up, but can easily write it that way!

Will have to think of an English pudding too.

DJ, I'm in Australia.  One of our neighbours slaughters his own sheep from time to time, or has a local farmer do it for him and he is always 'threatening' to supply us with the appropriate haggis bits and pieces - it hasn't happened yet.  I had a funny feeling you couldn't slaughter your own stock over there.  I'm not entirely sure that it is legal in Australia either.  Maybe I'll post a recipe for 'virtual' haggis. 

I've just remembered, one of my dad's favourite soups was sheep's head soup - shall I do that one?

This thread seems to have bought us all together from across the seas.

Where are you cuildh?  Need to pencil in a visit if you are in Australia . We may have to criss cross a few countries . I may get dizzy.

I would not want to go past a chance to have sheeps  head soup.

We are still in Buenos  Aires  and it is  only 0520 . Had a lovely tapas night with a few glasses of Argentina red so might go back to bed now.

This will be so much fun. Around the world tour, taste testing at every destination.

Gert, I'm in Victoria, about 1 hour or so away from Chookie (when I am not at work, which is in Melbourne).

My connection to all these outlandish Scottish dishes is that my parents were from the Outer Hebrides of Scotland - they emigrated just after the war.  They lived very much a subsistence life on the croft before then so when an animal was slaughtered, every bit was used.

[gertbysea]

Oh what about visiting Helene on Vancouver Island.


Canada is on the list.

Better tell her to expect us.

Gert

[mcmich]

Yes, definitely Canada. We all want to meet Helene.

Great stuff.   Do you know the books by LIllian Beckwith?  Love them to bits. Today I met a lass from the Orkneys and I was going to add  that  to,the list but now I will change course and head for the Hebrides . Just where  would be best ? St.Kilda  might be fun. Up to you. Where will  it be and I will add it to the list.
