sionnach commented on the word clapshot
Neeps and tatties mashed.
But beware of repetitive neep-peeling injuries and of cheap, inferior, root vegetables. According to Lesley Riddoch who obviously must be an EXPERT on all things Scottish because - you know - her name ends in 'ch':
The proud, yellow fleshed, hard as nails Scottish turnip has long been called a swede in England and the name usurped south of the border by a puny, tasteless white vegetable that resembles a large radish.
