Time to make Parsnips Molly Parkin again.
First met this rich, warming dish in a South Devon proper pub some years back. Just the job for a winter's lunch sitting in a low-beamed bar in front of an open fire. Works pretty well in our place too.

A 2013 vintage glass or two went down nicely last night. Felt fitting to mark our farewell to Christmas, its decorations & down time.
