Cabbage/kale...cruciferous...
Yup. In Danish they call kale green long cabbage or just green cabbage.
Where is Danish?
Are you kidding PattY1? I can't tell if you are serious or being silly.
A little of both. I am not sure what she means.
Danish is the language, so that is what she meant when she said, "In Danish" rather than "In Denmarkian".
So--what's the fancy name for mashed potatoes to which you add garlic and green onions? I thought everyone added green onions to mashed potatoes when "company" came.
I LOVE greek yogurt but I doubt I'd be able to give up butter!You only add it when you are expecting Champ!
My second serving was just as fantastic as the first. Unfortunately...I don't get to partake. My next batch will be subbing greek yogurt in place of the cream and butter.

Smart woman--are you sure you're not my twin <g>?I'm only allowed 33 grams of fat/day. I need to choose wisely. I can cut back on butter, I definitely won't give it up or trade it for margerine.

i never heard of champ potatoes when i was young, but i had them for my first time in belfast a few years ago and i was hooked.
now, since there's so few ingredients, the success of the dish depends on the quality of the spuds and the type of green onions used, and of course fresh butter and cream.
o
you can grow."spring" or young onions almost all year in most of ireland, so there's slight seasonal changes. but boring ol' relatively tasteless scallions don't cut it.
they should be sweet but also with that "green" taste.
and of course, loads of fresh irish butter and cream doesn't hurt.
btw, jenny, to be sure both champ and colcannon are irish.
Give up my butter! NEVER!!!!
However, like you, I'm facing the reality of a more healthful and weight conscience diet. I've had to cut back on other sources of fat - leaner meats, minimal use of processed foods, adjusting the use of milk (I'm normally a big milk drinker), etc.
Oh, well. (sigh)
