This sounds pretty easy and fast.....just my style.  But I would use fresh asparagus insteead of canned. 


Asparagus Casserole
  • 1 can asparagus, large, drained
  • 4 hard-boiled egg, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • dash pepper
  • 1 cup cracker crumbs
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese
  • 1 can (10 3/4 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
Preparation: Place layers of half of the asparagus and sliced eggs in a buttered casserole; sprinkle with half of the salt, pepper, and cracker crumbs. Top with half of the shredded cheese. Spoon half of mushroom soup over this. Repeat layers and spoon remaining soup over the casserole. Bake 45 to 60 minutes at 325°.
*This popular side dish could be made with a seasoned medium to thick white sauce in place of the cream of mushroom soup.

That's on purpose, Ann.  She figures if she posts recipes like this, none of us will show up at her house for Thanksgiving.  :big grin:

What would be your "traditional" Thanksgiving recipes?

At the end of November (30th) we celebrate St Andrews Day.  Although there is no "traditional" St Andrews Day meal many people will eat haggis, neeps (turnips, mashed) and tatties (potatoes, mashed).  Most non-Scots will turn their nose up at the thought of haggis but here is a nice dessert - Cranachan - which you might like to try:-

60g of medium oatmeal
150g of raspberries
4 tablespoons of malt whisky
4 tablespoons of runny Scottish honey
600mls of double cream

Scatter the oatmeal onto a baking tray and toast in a low oven or under the grill until they become golden brown. Do stand and watch this because they can easily and quickly burn.

Nick Nairn (Scottish chef) advises toasting the oatmeal with a half measure of sugar together to give a crunchy texture and caramel flavour. This is done either under the grill or with care in a non stick frying pan using a medium heat and tossing often. Nick Nairn uses pinhead oatmeal and uses soft brown sugar. He also recommends tossing the raspberries in whisky and warm honey for an enhanced flavour. Once prepared he then drizzles any extra whisky with the warmed honey over the cranachan.

Blend 50g of the raspberries in the liquidiser until they become smooth.

Whip the double cream until a stiff mixture forms.

Stir in the honey and the whisky and mix well. Do use a good quality malt whisky to enhance the flavour.

Fold in 50g of the toasted oatmeal then fold in 50g of the raspberry puree. A rippled effect should be achieved.

Spoon the mixture into tall glasses or individual serving dishes. Gently scatter the remaining oatmeal and raspberries on the top of each dish.

Serve and enjoy as a pudding.


You can tell it's a Scottish recipe - there's alcohol in it :flag1:

I would use a good single malt from the North and mid section......such as the Speyside area or there is a good one from Orkney, Scapa that is very honey-like.

To be honest, the actual quantities aren't too important but 60g is just over 2 ounces and 150g is just over 5 ounces.  600ml is about 20 US fluid ounces.

Hope this helps.

Bama, you might want to try this with your Cranachan, especially if it's cold outside.

Hot Toddy (modern recipe)

A wee dram of whisky
1 teaspoon honey
Boiled water
1 slice fresh lemon/lemon squash
1 pinch ground nutmeg (optional)
1 cinnamon stick (optional)
1 clove (optional and needs to be removed along with the cinnamon stick before drinking the hot toddy)

1. Put the honey into a mug and disolve in a wee bit of boiled water.

2. Add the whisky depending on your taste. 1 -2 tablespoons is recommended.

3. Top up with more boiled water. Add the cinnamon stick and cloves if used. Leave to stand for about 5 minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick and any cloves used.

4. Add the fresh lemon/lemon squash, stir well, then sprinkle with a pinch of ground nutmeg if used then serve.


My dad is a firm believer in a traditional hot toddy (whisky and almost boiling water) when he's got a cold.  He was complaining the other day that his blended whisky had run out (he thinks malt whisky shouldn't be watered down, EVER).

I have to tell ya Nip, and I don`t want to hurt your feelings, but this sounds horrible:vomit: where did you find this?


Really?  I thought it sounded good if you used fresh asparagus instead of canned.  I just saw it on some on-line recipe site.  I like all the ingredients............:confused:   Well, if I try it, I'll let you know how it came out!!

Too much water!  I'll take a traditional Irish Coffee with a couple of shots!

A traditional T-giving meal varies from place to place, but generally it consists of:

Turkey and dressing......mashed potatoes or sweet potato casserole......green bean casserole.....cranberry sauce.......dessert.

Please use whisky (Scottish) rather than whiskey (Irish) - our economy needs it (I work for a Scottish company) :flag1:

For the best liqueur coffee  - add the liqueur of choice to the coffee and also to the cream placed on top of the coffee :thumbsup:

Nothing against our Celtic cousins (the Irish), I'm just being patriotic :flag1:

The Celtic nations are all friendly - Scottish, Irish, Welsh.  Together we have a common "enemy", especially when it comes to sport - the English.  (Apologies to any English people reading this - you're really only the enemy when it comes to sport, especially rugby) :big grin:
