    If I read another page of your blog I'll head for the nearest Scottish embassy and apply for an honourary citizenship :lol:

    Lots of sense there :)

    In Scotland they put brown source mixed with vinegar on fish and chips and try getting some best bitter it is called heavy.

    I do a "very good pet" Mince and Tatties accordingly to my better half (from Cambuslang). But the Boiling beef issue is definitely helped by understanding now that the recipe is meant to be served in 2 courses.

    Unlike traditional scotch broth the wartime version was meant to be eaten first as a broth and then the meat and veg were a main course. So yes salt beef could well be the boiling beef as per the butchers view.

    The great thing about this little thread is I bought the books- planning on cooking some of the recipes and got my 12 year old daughter interested!
