Stovies are real Scottish soul food.

You can find a recipe at
http://www.scottishrecipes.co.uk/stovies.htm
but I reckon that there is no real fixed recipe for this delight: use what you have :D

earlier we had some fish pie and cheese and caramilised onion tear and share bread :)

Ben is in the other room planning a months worth of cook in advance and freeze meals - including enough poridge which apparently you freeze in frezer bags and take before you go bed then rehead

I am proud of him for this but can guess who will get asked to wash up :p and not to mention we are only ordering a freezer that is the height of the kitchen units!

2kg tins of chick peas and huge bags of herbs and spices at the new contental supermarket up the road must be discouraged, as we have zero cupboard space (well non I can reach then again I am 4ft 11)

Think I am going to make some hot ribena to drink and try make sense of my new uni timetable.

Lou

I love haggis. I even know what it us made if, and that enhances my enjoyment of it.

I reckon that if we take an animal's life for our nourishment, we owe it to the life that us forfeit to maximize the benefit we gain from each carcas. Eating the lungs etc. of the sheep we have deprived if life is a way of honouring the life we have taken.

Soulfood for the wealthy would be upmarket haggis or stovies served by A chef with Michelin Stars!

Fair enough Andrew but as a veggie all meat/fish is grim to me! Although I wish I could manage fish cos it's good for you.
I've had pasta and now I'm on the club mint biscuits & raspberry beer

You can get veggy haggis. It is a delightful combination of nuts, lentils and barley with delicious spices and herbs. Actually of all vegetarian dishes, I reckon its up there among the best.
