Summer Savoury, so difficult to get out of province. I always bring back several packages of it when I go home for a visit. The packages I have in my freezer at the moment are 7 years old, its been that long since I was home. But they are still good. Ohh, that apple stuffing does sound nice. I must give it a go! You have a great Christmas Season also! xoxoMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-69935474483028941912019-11-23T09:56:50.059+00:002019-11-23T09:56:50.059+00:00Great ideas - our turnips are indeed swedes. I li...Great ideas - our turnips are indeed swedes. I lived in London for a year and couldn't find swedes in my local green grocer - although I would ask for 'turnips' and they'd try and get me to buy one of your green and white ones. They wouldn't do. Months later, I went in and saw a Canadian turnip. I said to they guy "Finally a turnip!" The green grocer, who was often fed up with my measly daily purchases bellowed "Good God woman - that's not a turnip - it's a swede!"<br />Being an Irish Maritimer, I grew up on a dressing with potatoes, crumbs and summer savory - it never made sense to me. When I married I had a wee gov't publication of Nova Scotia apple recipes - it had a stuffing with breadcrumbs, chopped celery in butter, chopped raw McIntosh, chopped onion, an egg to bind and salt, pepper and of course summer savory - my family won't have anything else now - so here's a recipe idea for you. Oh, and I put it in the turkey - despite all of the dire warnings not to do so. Haven't killed anyone yet! Have a great Christmas season.Linda Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06864408104475747800noreply@blogger.com
