MMM.......... delicious!!
Posted: Friday, 28 September 2007 |
We opened our cafe for business at 12:30 selling toasties, pigs in clover and soup. We also included fancies that were written following wartime recipes. As we are studying World War 2 we decorated the room with chads and made a poster showing the Blitz.
We sold raffle tickets and everybody had a good yarn!!
We raised 拢250 for MacMillan Cancer Relief.
All the food and ingredients was donated as well by either the staff or the community.
Thanks to everybody who came and supported us.

Well Done Fetlar School, the green soup looks delicious !!!

Pea soup, is it? Not as thick as grandma used to make it, but who am I to challenge the local recipe? In any case, I would advise the soccer players to stay away from it before any game against Flotta. Flotta kids have surf and turf before any and every game.

You have me acutely curious! What, please, are pigs in clover? A recipe perhaps?

Well done, FPS. Your blitz poster is really excellent. What kind of ration book recipes did you use? And what are pigs in clover??
Jill from EK
Very happy pigs?

But when are you going to tell us what a pig in clover is?? We are all dying to know here, imaginations working overtime.

And congratulations to all on a good sum raised for a worthwhile cause.

Meat was rationed in the war so many people ate more vegetables. A Pig in Clover was a potato that was cored (using an apple corer) and filled with sausage meat. The sausage was the 'pig' part. The clover was the cabbage or whatever green vegetables that were served under the tattie. The removed core of the potato was often eaten later on the same day after cooking. They were delicious.

Now of all the things I was imagining that wasn't it. Thank you for putting us out of our misery.
Flying Cat from can I get the sossidge out with a paw?
Thanks for that ... they sound tasty! I just might make some.
Plaid from not in clover
Thanks for the explanation Fetlar. However, I note that the pig (organic sausage in a wrinkled tattie) in the pic. did not have any clover. I hope you charged extra for it. "Yes Mrs. McIntosh, of course you need the cabbage. And that will be two pounds extra!"

Thanks for telling us about pigs in clover. I'd never heard of them before but they sound very nice, perhaps I can make a vegetarian version. Are the potatoes baked once the filling is inside? You can see that you've really started something here!

What it is like to go to school on Fetlar & what we get up to here.
