ive had the CK canned stuff quite often...i do it with "neeps and tatties" turnip/rutabag and pot's...pretty much like hash on a stick really...i would venture to guess 1/2 the fun is just the unique quality...my kids are required to take 2 courtesy bites..and the son usually puts on his kilt and chases the dog with his wood claymore..but i agree with most...nothing outstanding and ive had much worse. the REAL stuff is on my list of to-do's when we venture to scotland in the spring.
