Scottish American Food: Vegetables and Salads

Common vegetables used in Scottish American cooking are potatoes, turnips, watercress, kale, and cabbage. Potatoes are baked, stuffed, or “stoved” (mixed with bacon and onions cooked over the stove served with cooked meat and gravy), “Kailkenney” (kale, onions, and oats in a cream sauce), “Neeps and Tatties” (mashed potatoes and turnips served with Haggis), and potato cakes are popular, usually made with bacon, mushrooms, and onions or leeks or served with Scottish cheddar and onion jam.
