Thank you so much for this! :) gonna make this for next week, my father is Scottish and I grew up with him cooking up traditional Scottish recipes such as this one, Scottish tablet, shortbread and haggis, we always celebrated burns night and still do, this brought back memories for me with my father cooking for us, I’m proud of my Scottish heritage and even more so now as I discovered my mother’s ancestry also has many ancestors from Scotland. I sadly haven’t had the privilege to go to Scotland and be with my roots, as I come from a struggling background but I’m hoping I’ll be able to visit very soon. Much love, from Ree, down here in the suburbs of London!❤️

Why more people do not love this is beyond me. A Lovely down to earth Scottish housewife giving us tips on how to cook, but from her own kitchen with simple everyday ingredients , normal equipment and not a studio set up with multiple cameras and tidy up persons between shots. Need more people like Helen and Cheryl who does 'whats for tea' . Please keep them coming. Thank You.

I been veggie for years now but my gran, a Scottish woman, would make this. I though I found it a little emotional when I looked down and saw some tears , then I realised I was drooling.

I watched this with the sound off and the subtitles on ,It's bloody hilarious!!

Thank you from northern Australia.

Oh that was brilliant.Not made that fur a while.Gonna have that fur tea at the weekend,it reminds me of ma granny,this was one of her weekly meals as she knew all us wee ones loved it.Thanks and keep them coming.Plain,simple foods done without all the showmanship of those master chef people.Nothing beats the home cooked simple but tasty food.Woukd love to see yer stovies,that was a staple of ma dear old gramps.👍👍🌹

My Ma used to add the turnip to the spuds and mash together with pepper ,lovely with mince ,but we're Irish descent .

This was new for me...I made it and we LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!! Thank you so much and you have a wonderful channel for us in the U.S. to enjoy!

❤️. Love this! Thank you!

This looks good. I'm moving to Scotland, from the USA for Uni soon. So i'm trying to learn as much as I can about the cooking over there

Many thanks, this video content is really practical.

Simple and short recipe looks delicious thank you.😛

Fantastic! I searched for a Scottish cook for this traditional dish and here you are rocking it :) I always wondered if the Scots put a wee dram in it at some point but I guess that would just be a waste of good whisky :) Keep up the good work.

Made your version for dinner tonight. I think the bay leaf, garlic & soy sauce were good additions. Thank you for sharing your recipe & teaching me this. Although I have Scottish ancestry, I've never had this before. God bless

Proper comfort food. I love neeps. Swede for me as ‘south of the border’ but I know it’s named different in different places just delicious 🤤

Enjoyed watching you cook! You are very organized! Love your containers of spices and such above your counters.

Bog standard it may be but my mouth is watering, watching you make this meal. YUM!!!

Luv some mince and tatties! Gonna be trying this recipe fir sure! Miss my Scottish food 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Takes me back to my childhood 😊 used to hate neeps but can't get enough of it now lol. Yeah I recall the ice cream scoop potatoes at school lol & I'm only 32, good old days lol

Just back from Benidorm by the looks of that lovely tan.

Pure magic. Nostalgic, and also very current - economical and tasty native cooking that every Scot over the correct age will recognise. Well done.

Just tried to replicate this following your video closely Helen...all the way down under in Australia 🇦🇺👍🏼

Thanks for sharing 😊😊😊

Love your recipes,Your accent is lovely,bet you can sing as well.You are a happy woman,God bless you,

awesome...

Thank you for doing this. I'm English but love neeps and tatties. But my favourite is stovies. Mmm

In the southern United States, neeps are called rutabagas. They are a standard country dish, chopped and cooked with bacon in it. I like your recipe and will be trying it.

Thankyou trying to do it for the first time x

I like how you make this your own. I don't add garlic to mine but I do add a bit of HP Sauce in there 😛

Love this. Pete london x ♥

Haw Helen , yon platefie o grub looks gid enouf tie eat, mite and iv been eating mince an tatties, amongst other things for over 65 yrs one of my favourite dishes . The only difference is i make a large batch up in a pressure pot, 1 kilo of mince, 5 large carrots, 3 large onions , and 20 mins before end add half a kilo bag of garden peas , i end up with 8 meals Stan.

Looks delicious

HI Helen GREAT VIDEO

My mothers was scotch/Irish You sound like everyone that was in my life growing up .☺️ I have my Auntie Annie's fly cemetery recipe and her short bread recipe. They've all passed on, I don't get to hear that lovely brogue. So I watch you.

Love the recipe. Love your accent.... Couldn't understand a word you said :)

Delightful and delicious

Looks amazing. I Love my mince and tatties with the veg you have to have lurpack in the tatties and tumshie doughballs too lol

Yes I’m also Scottish and that is a turnip to us many may argue but it’s a fecking turnip!!! Lol

I'm in love

❤️❤️

Lol Helen aye Turnip,the big yin,Yar MADE ME HUNGRY,Getting back to that time oh year for this great Meal,Ally

Looks yummy! Well presented,Is that the neighbours washing flapping in the wind?

In yorkshire turnips are brown swedes are white and smaller

My mum still loves the wee scoops of tatties lol

You can season the meat with some salt, pepper and garlic powder, (house seasoning) to help get rid of the raw meat smell while browning..

I watch another lady on UKposts called ( What’s for tea) and she also serves mashed turnip and they are that color. I can not find them here in Florida and want to make them. 😬.

I use dark soy sauce too.

In the U.S. we call neeps rutabagas

In Scotland, is it common for people to add peas to the mince? Thought it might be a good protein filler if meat is too expensive

Garlic powder? Just bisto along with the onion carrots and turnip food me, just how granny made it

A dod o totties love it

So Orcaidians don't use Peas in their Mince, that is an awfa shame as peas give it to freshening and away from just the brown and onion colouration. That is my take on Scottish Fare, always add frozen peas or a tin of garden peas. Cheers Helen for sharing.

Question ❓ Mince= ground beef? 💕 From USA

Dear God. I'm from Texas...that's a turnip? I thought everything was bigger in Texas. Our turnips are the size of tennis balls...maybe a little bigger. That damn thing is the size of a loaf of bread!

My mam used to make this on the poor day of the week in our house ,which was a Wednesday in the 70s. She hated it and we weren’t that keen on it either. Some people are easily pleased though.

Not bad hen...

Tatty and neeps fried on monday for tea?

In the US South, if it's pink on the outside and white on the inside, we call it a turnip, whilst we'd call that big yellow fella a rutabega. Also, I wonder why you Scots don't drain your grease?

Garlic! My mother would be turning in her grave.

Braw

i thought everybody called them neeps

Put the subtitles on, it all makes sense now, if your north of the border you just talk in riddles? :)

The food looks lovely BUT You didn’t wash your hands after handling the mince then touched everything else, spoon, oil etc. that’s so unhygienic

One thing I don't understand: Every f***in thing she just said ;)

OH NO, NO, NO,.. NEVER ..GARLIC

Turnips are white. You can't just call a swede a turnip. It's a totally different vegetable. Just correct the history of Scotland and start calling them swedes. Be big enough to admit you've made a mistake.
