I've had this book in my kitchen for many years and often used to use it
before I'd learned all the recipes I really liked.

As for Marcel slaving five hours over a hot haggis, I usually just by
one of the small ones from the shops, skin it, cut it into one-inch
cubes and microwave it for three minutes. Then I break it up with a fork
and microwave it for another three minutes. It's the neeps that need all
the attention, really!

:-) Och, Marcel, hulle het jou verwysing na 'afval' gemis.

 Het jy tien ure geskrop en vyf ure gekook?

Net my ouma s'n was skoon genoeg gewas om te eet!

Elsie Zinsser

I must say that this dish took me more than five hours, which it very long.
Afval takes me 15 hours, so haggis is OK.

From: Andrys Onsman

When we arrived en famile in Australia the only person my father could
talk to at the local football club was the father of a Scottish boy. My
(Frisian) father spoke no English and even the local Tasmanians had
great difficulty understanding the Scots of Mr Mills. As to mutual
intelligibility, I too am not so sure. Whilst they communicated about
sport and their sons, I suspect they didn't discuss politics or
philiosophy. Or haggis!

Cheers, Andrys
