      You remind me of my Irish Granny and Grandma with your tatties and turnips. It’s a wonderful memory because they both slathered on the butter with every veg, naturally, and made their grandchildren smile with such delicious comfort food. Nothing beats the old recipes cooked like Grandma and Granny. Thanks for sharing and keep those recipes coming.

      Do you know how long it takes to roast a rooter beggar? If folks didn't have to work 40+ a week just to keep a roof, maybe they could cook more? We could stop marketing meal kits and newfangled TV diners, rather than just calling young folks *lazy*

    I’m NATIVE AMERICAN and so we had meat and berries and nuts, with some seasonal veggies but never had a nip or a Swede until I was about 7, and my English father made them for me to try. Makes me want to run out to the store and buy some tomorrow to try your recipe. Who doesn’t love mash and butter and green onions? So good. This is the first video of yours I’ve watched and so will be returning to see what other culinary delights you may have in store for this Indian. Thanks!

My mum was a MacNeil living in England but originally from Inverness, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia Canada! I still cook this to this day but here in Canada, Turnips, ( yellow flesh) are known also as rutabaga. 🇬🇧🇨🇦

      Rutabaga is similar to turnip, however, it is much bigger. Turnip has a much stronger taste than rutabaga.

      in the Southwest of Sweden.

    My Mum used to make this a lot and also put on top of a pie. Don't know if it was a Shepherds Pie or a Cottage Pie, or what, but it was delish. She did the same things with any left over uncooked veggies at the end of the week, it might not have been a lot but we used to toast a slice of bread, put the 'topping' on the toast, sprinkle with cheese and back under the grill, scrumptious, just scrumptious.

    I've had spuds mashed with turnip done like this all my life, without the chives - and I'm (North-east) English. I call it turnip, because when I was a lad growing up, we had turnips (with the dark red skin and yellow flesh) and white (or 'milky') turnips, that had the crimson skin and white, peppery flesh. Turnips were for winter (best after the first frost) and milkies were for summer - not mashed, but served cubed with whole new potatoes. None of this 'Swede' stuff in those days. We wouldn't have known what a swede was, in terms of vegetables. We only found out that some people called turnips 'swedes' when cookery programmes started to mention them on telly in the 1970s and 'Southern ways' caught on. Clapshot? I never heard of it until a few years ago and I found out that's what I'd been eating all my life was called in Scotland.
    I normally cook my spuds and turnip in the same pan, but one good reason for cooking them in separate pans is that sometimes the turnips have been grown in soil short on some of the nutrients they need, and they come out like wood in texture, harder to chop and they take an age to boil to tenderness. If you waited for them to do that with the spuds, the spuds can turn to soup while the turnip cooks. If I'm chopping a turnip, and it's hard to cut, it goes on to boil, either in the pan to which spuds will be added later, or in a separate pan, 10 minutes or more before the spuds go on to cook. That way, they're both ready at the same time.

    Mmmmm….Hungry, now, for sure 😋. American 🇺🇸 here …. Many years ago I had a dear friend who had a Scottish father & a German mother. Her dad made the very dish you just did & everyone loved it. For whatever reason, her German mom decided to add drained sauerkraut to it one time. Might sound awful,but I can’t begin to tell you how good that ended up being. I still make it that way to this day. And, my friend made this with the sauerkraut added in if she had an upset stomach😛….and swore it cured the nausea! I know adding cooked cabbage to plain mashed potatoes turns it into Colcannon (my Irish heritage blessed me with that combo), which I love as well🍀.

    It's funny how two vegetables that are latecomers to the Scottish food scene in the mid to late 1700s, have such an outsized 'tradition'. In my collection of Scottish cookbooks from the 1700s, both of these vegetables are looked down upon, and the potato was called the Devil's work that would turn you mad, immoral, or into a Witch. But by the early 1800s both were used extensively with recipes converted from using the 'true turnip' to using the Swede or neep... so for many pre 1790s Scottish recipes the 'true turnip' is the traditional veg to use.

He said the "Americans", meaning the descendants of the British, always had mashed potato sandwiches.

    My granny came from the Kingdom of Fife and called this recipe, with or without the chives, Bashed Neeps. I now live in France and still make it regularly
    By the way. We've always dried any waste veg skins and use them for gravy flavouring. Stores well and saves having to buy vegetable stock cubes.

    Fantastic stuff!
    I've combined your Clapshot and Colcannon recipes, on the belief that the historic population and austere circumstances would be very similar. So, spuds, cabbage and turnip with as much butter and chives/spring onions etc. as you could lay your hands on. If our ancestors could have, they probably would have. I have to say that it combines the best of both. Delicious. Mix leftovers with flour and fry and it's the best breakfast you've ever 'ad.

    If you have problems with your hands and the turnip is a bit tougher to cut up. Then make holes in it with a fork and stick it in the microwave for a few minutes this softens the skin and outer layers then proceed as above.

I add butter and cream or cream cheese( if ive got some)This is a delicious dish ,in fact I made it at Christmas when swede was on special offer. I bought 6 and froze some for later. I believe they call this recipe ,without chives is called Punchnip in Wales. Thank-you ❤

      Don't know where the name changed came from Rik, interesting the way it does. Oh by the way, we usually use two pots, one or the tatties and one for the turnip (yellow)., because sometimes the turnip can be quite hard and can take longer to boil. So your tatties would be ready a bit before your neeps.@@BackyardChef

    Good point Rik: why boil them in separate pans? Being from New England growing up 60 years ago and until i was about 30 we only had access to turnips from Prince Edward Island Canada. The tan and purple skinned with yellow flesh. We made a version of this with the addition of mashed carrot as well. Used onion because only in spring did we have green chives. A German neighbor shiwed my mom this recipe. They add a touch of vinegar as well.

    The Rutabaga (Swedish Turnip, originating in Sweden) is a cross between a turnip and cabbage, milder than a regular turnip. I usually add a pinch of Allspice to some cabbage dishes and Rutabaga to round out and accentuate the flavor. It's really weird but every Rutabaga that I've ever bought in the US come from Canada. I don't know why. Lovely Clapshot! Haven't made any in a while.

    You got my appetite going there, Rik. That's tatties, neeps and a wee carrot as well on boiling right now. No chives to hand but I reckon a couple of wee syboes will do instead. That's on the menu tonight now with a wee bit Macsween's veggie haggis from the freezer. Thank you for the inspiration.

    We grew up with clapshot, colcanon, and champ. Monday was usually mashed spuds day, using up the leftovers from the Sunday dinner. There was always a surplus of spuds. Two pots, possibly because some neeps/swede took a bit longer to cook than the spuds? Thanks for the video. Excellent result and a joy to watch as always.

      What's champ?

    • @liammalarky3483
      @liammalarky3483 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      @countrysideviews294 in my family champ is mashed potatoes and cibeys (spring onions/scallions). Colcanon is mashed spuds with cibeys and cabbage. Clapshot is mashed spuds with diced swede or turnip (diced carrots to sweeten) and onions. To be honest, you can add whatever you have to use up and vary it every now and again.

    I got so confused a long time ago trying to find out the differences of swedes and turnips. What a perlava it was. This is a lovely side dish that goes with a nice meant and gravy dish. Its amazing what you can make with a couple items from the kitchen.

    You don't need the chives (although certainly use them if you have them). Rather than throwing the top of the spring onions away, chop the green bits finely and use exactly the same way as the chives - they have a similar flavour profile, and it is more thrifty!

    How can you go wrong? You can't. These kinds of dishes have been on tables for centuries. This type of dish pairs exceptionally well with any red meat. You showed the difference between turnips and rutabagas...a lot of folks might not know. One of my all-time favorites is turnips au gratin. I'm positive it would work with swedes too, though I have never made it with them. Classic stuff...thanks Rik.

    • @BackyardChef
      @BackyardChef  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Agreed! Yes it would work. Now when you make, do you use Gruyère cheese - its hard to come by here. And parmesan or do you sub the Gruyère cheese out? Best, Rik
