Use a couple of "digestives" instead of bread, they cannot really be cosidered food so they shouldn't cause a glucose spike. :-)

"considered" someday I'll try spell check.

It's the spuds. High glycemic index.

I was just teasing a little. At any rate, it sounds better than what my dad called "jam sandwich". To make a jam sandwich, you take two slices of bread and you jam them together.

Ahhhhh, English cooking. I need to boil this some more, it still has flavour.

[Gabz]

Nope. They're just gross.

[east1234]

yea, I know, just couldn't think of some disgusting English replacement for potatoes.

LOL!!!!!!!

That's how my husband always described ALL of his mother's cooking, and like my mother, she was Irish!!!!!

Eeeew! A jam sanwick needs jam!

Bad luck, I guess for coming across one of the few posters here who did grow up in that part of the world. :)

I worship at the altar of the Queen of Butter, aka Paula Dean.

I watched the "Chefography" on her and was surprised to learn that Food Network had taped a few of her shows but were holding them. After 9/11, when America wanted comfort food they put the show on. She was an instant hit.

Her pot roast is a staple in my house now.

Haggis is great. A lot of it is oats and grains, so it's probably not what you expect.

There are other great Scottish foods: great fish, great steaks, venison.
Neeps and Tatties are mashed potatoes and mashed rutabaga (although they usually just call them turnips).

Ayckroyd's outside of Detroit makes awesome meat pies and bridies. We're too far for just a casual drive to get some, so they're a rare treat.

[Gabz]

They look pretty...........

Turnips?

[LonePalm]

Not as pretty as you. \flattery

Nope, they call them neeps, not turnips.

Have you tried her mac and cheese? It's supposed to be yummy. I drool at everything she makes.
