N.E.Scotland meet ( Glen Tanar)

[CBJ]

Nickliv Ill put here what I p'md you mate,

Kelly kettles etc will be ok to use as long as you can get them up of the ground as they don't want any fire scars.

capt.Dunc: A couple of us have to go down on the Thursday to get the site etc sorted but everybody else will be coming down on either the Friday or Saturday so don't worry if you cant make the whole weekend.

Adze: That is great mate , thanks .


For the group meals:

Friday Haggis supper: What exactly do you want with the haggis? Once we sort that out we can start planning who brings what as we nearly died with the amount brought last time LOL.

Saturday stew: Everybody ok with the wagoners stew again ( we can add our own spice ) ?

Oh one thing chaps I don't think Dave's coming so has anybody got a big pot???

Well, for Haggis, surely it's gotta be mashed tatties and neeps?

I have access to a large soup pan we can use- its in the loft just now but if memory serves, it's pretty big!

I trust the Frontier Stove will be ok Craig?

Cheers

Mmmmmm Haggis fest begins again. Looks like we have kicked off a tradition at our meets.

Last time this is what we had for a few of us and there was still plenty left over.

BUT BEWARE.........the haggis in the tins is a tough beast and likes to bend utensils! Be warned.

Goodness! I haven't seen tinned haggis in years. Can't get it anywhere in England as far as I know. Where did that lot come from?

 

[Pandabean]

We got it from the supermarkets. Plenty of the stuff up here.

Although one of the sad reasons may be that the haggis is farmed by these large companies. Poor wee things kept in cages with no mountains to run around. Just imagine a dog chasing it's tail, that is how they have to cope.

Right folks here is the recipe for the wagoners stew :

Like last time if you want to put your name next to an item/s and I will get whats left.

WAGON MASTERS STEW

3lb. Dice beef
1tsp. sugar
½ cup flour
2Tbs. worcestershire sauce
1tsp. salt
½ tsp. Paprika
1tsp. Pepper
11/2 tsp. tobasco
¼ cup olive oil
2 pints hot water
2 bay leaves
15 oz. can kidney beans
1tsp. thyme
corn flour or gravy mix (optional)
1 lb. bag frozen corn
1 lb. bag frozen petite peas
1 lb. bag frozen green beans



Trim excess fat from meat and cut into 1" cubes. In a medium size bowl combine flour, salt, and pepper and stir to mix. Add meat and mix until meat is well coated.

Heat a 12" deep Dutch oven or large pot. Add olive oil then meat and brown meat on all sides. Add onion and garlic and continue cooking until onions are soft and translucent.
Add HOT water, stock cubes, bay leaves, thyme, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, and tobasco. Stir to mix completely. Bring to a boil then add carrots and celery. Return to boil and let cook 15 minutes. Thicken with corn flour or gravy mix if necessary.
Stir in remaining ingredients and bring contents to a boil. Cover and simmer for 30-45 minutes or until vegetables are soft.

Serves: 15-20

1 lb. cubed/diced beef - CBJ
1 lb. cubed/diced beef
1 lb. cubed/diced beef
60ml olive oil
5 carrots
4 stalks celery
6 medium potatoes
1 lb. bag frozen corn
1 lb. bag frozen petite peas
1 lb. bag frozen green beans
15 oz. can kidney beans

 

[Pandabean]

We split the meat last time I think so no one has to buy 3lbs of it.

3lbs = 1.36kg

So we can take 4 x 500gs pack of diced meat/stewing beef

Sorry guys, we can't make it. Cameron just brought a letter home from school saying permission for him to off on the Friday is denied due to GCSE committments. It wouldn't be worth driving up on the Saturday then leaving next morning to drive all the way back to Durham again.
We've decided it's Glen Trool during the easter hols instead.

Eric

 

[Pandabean]

Sorry to hear Eric but I guess you couldn't suggest he was getting his days schooling in the woods and learning about historical practices?

Have a good time at Glen Trool and I am sure I will see you again down at the bushmoot.

ps( Andy if you can shovel all this snow away and come with a large offering of sweet baked goodies to appease the correct spirits then you might be able to come again . )

 

[Adze]

... to appease the correct spirits

Would they be White, McKay and Dobbin (a white horse apparently) respectively?
