English cuisine....

....sure, we all know how many look down their noses at the prospect. After welsh rarebit and F&C, what is there, really? But look a bit closer, especially at the baked/biological goods. Peasant breads can be to die for. Cheeses and beers, as well. Today, as part of fathers' day, the twins baked me the most delicious rhubarb scones ever. They came up to raid the red rhubarb by the veggie garden, at the Vk/Aa mansion estate. Somewhere they found a book on the use of this tasty medicinal hardy weed, and have been making chutneys, scones, pies, and more. Stalks only peebles----leaves are dangerous. Yummy. Hail Britannia.

My Mother and Grandmother came over from England in the '30's and I remember my Grandmother telling me when she wanted hamburger here she would order 'mincemeat' and get something entirely different. It took her a while but she finally got it right.
I grew rhubarb when I lived in Seattle but I never made anything delicious. I love it when someone else makes it taste good but I failed.
Rhubarb/strawberry sauce over REAL shortcake - NOT spongecake scold

Micman. Have heard of haggis, but never of all the sordid details. Appreciate the warning. After reading your recipe, some compazine helped the queasiness from progressing to a real mess. But then in our Portuguese cuisine heritage, there are things that sound (and taste) much worse.
