Managed to get hold of a MacSweens haggis.

 

No problem with the tatties but what about the neeps - Chinese radish??

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Where did you get the haggis from?? I mean from which shop, not asking where you caught it,,
Yes I think the radish is the only thing remotely resembling a neep

I don't think Chinese radish will mash nicely.  It also has a strong, unpleasant smell.

 

You might consider as a substitute potato/carrot mash, or potato/pumpkin mash.

 

That said, I have occasionally seen swedes available in Villa, Bangkok.

Yep, that's a better suggestion,, go with carrot mash with plenty seasoning,,,,, cmon are you going to let us into your little secret, where you get the haggis??

I got my haggis (haggis's) brought from the uk. I've seen swede's (the vegetable type) in Makro but expensive - I'm saving up to buy one.

Valvona and Crolla in Jenners if that gives you a clue.

 

Macsweens do ship but I guess very expensive

 

Tried to cook and mash Chinese Radish (didn't eat my Haggae??) last night and it cooked and mashed OK tasted a bit like turnip.

 

I live 4 hours from BKK so I guess Villa is a no no at the moment but can you let me know where it is for the next time I go to the big city.

 

Thanks

For those who like to drool

I think you meant "for those who like to feel decidedly nauseous".

Ok I'll admit I'm drooling,,,, I've seen them in Bahrain last time I was there but sadly never in LOS

I really not interesting in the awfulness of Haggis

 

However, I am interested in Swede, which if I'm not mistaken in my UK/US translation is Rutabaga.

 

Is this commonly available in Makro?

 

I love Rutabaga, not a favored vegetable back home, kinda regarded as a depression era food, but I love it, especially around the holidays

Makro have it only occasionally.

Anyone know what rutabaga is in Thai?

radishes bear no resemblance to turnips other than they are both tubers...has anyone tried to cook a radish?...and then mash it?...perhaps but not successfully...

 

and although I am an honorary glaswegian I could never get me heid around haggis...oatmeal belongs in a bowl with milk and sugar fer breakfast...or on yer acne when you got a bad case...

Showed my wife pic of rutabaga/swede and was met with a blank. She claims never to have seen them, so a thai translation would be hugely appreciated

Seen them in Makro from time to time
