The beetroot is definitely just an Aberdeen thing - I don't think anyone else in Scotland does that.<br />Let me know how they go. :)Please Do Not Feed The Animals.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18253995950103215275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312788323256129344.post-89934156498064318132012-12-02T22:07:45.399+00:002012-12-02T22:07:45.399+00:00I grew up in Aberdeenshire before moving to Canada...I grew up in Aberdeenshire before moving to Canada nearly 20 years ago... My partner, a Canadian of Japanese descent, recently learned of stovies through Twitter of all places and asked me to make some. I haven't had any since I left Scotland (and my parents were actually English *gasp!* so I only ever got to eat it at school or at friends' houses) and now have some going on the stove, thanks to your blog. Hopefully it turns out as good as I remember. I don't recall the pickled beetroot, but we both like them anyway, so will serve some up on the side!Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05496978433956845538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312788323256129344.post-11534323344234508992010-11-10T13:11:45.631+00:002010-11-10T13:11:45.631+00:00Hi whitewineandsoda!

Did you marry an Aberdonian then? I have only found your blog in the last few days - so glad I did. Great to "meet" you.Please Do Not Feed The Animals.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18253995950103215275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312788323256129344.post-89387275689841150372010-11-10T08:50:31.949+00:002010-11-10T08:50:31.949+00:00I have only lived in aberdeen for 12 years and bef...I have only lived in aberdeen for 12 years and before that had never heard of stovies! <br />My mum told me that they were paupers food, whish was why we never at ethem - but that sounds a bit snobby it was probably because we never had any left over roast beef in our house as we would eat it as mum carved it! <br />I have tried once or twice to make stovies myself but they never turn out that good, but reading your post has spurred me to give it another go - my husband loves stovies and his only demand when we were getting married was that we must have them at the evening buffet - which we did!whitewineandsodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00282137215522805962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312788323256129344.post-25617285980000726292010-10-27T16:21:33.745+01:002010-10-27T16:21:33.745+01:00Oh, duck stovies sounds fine.
