Beef Stew With Neeps In My Cottage Scone By Perth Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K travel video of Beef Stew with Neeps and Broccoli for dinner tonight in my cottage in Scone by Perth, Perthshire. Thought I would share some of my favourite meals I cook with you. Beef stew and neeps is a traditional popular Scottish dish. a turnip or neep is on the outside purplish green, and the inside is pale yellow or orange In England, Wales, Australia and New Zealand, it's called a swede. It did originate in Sweden, where it's called rotabagga. Which gave rise to its American name: rutabaga. Neeps are often fed to sheep when grass is scarce in winter. Sometimes, the sheep will be let into a field of neeps, still in the ground, and simply chomp their way through them. Broccoli came out tops in a poll to discover Scotland’s favourite vegetable. Health wise, broccoli ticks many boxes. It’s rich in iron, calcium, potassium, selenium, and magnesium, as well as essential vitamins and antioxidants
