It almost always includes potatoes, with a few to several of these - celery root (celeriac), carrots, turnips, rutabagas. It is delicious. Have had it in several countries to include France and Belgium, where I found it to be quite tasty. Had it with rabbit in a wine reduction sauce in a sidewalk cafe in Paris and with homemade sausages in a small cafe in Brussels on a narrow alley way just off Grand Place. The name the Europeans call the mash escapes me right now. I tried to recreate it once here, but wasn't able to duplicate that fine concoction. A coworker from France I worked with told me it was because I hadn't processed the celery root correctly. Gotta hand it to the Belgians and French. Those folks can cook. Two business trips to Brussels and there abouts in a past life. Ate good both times. Stuff that is not so common in US: Horse meat, prairie oysters, mussels, escargot, skate. All well prepared and very tasty. And true Belgian waffles. No comparison in the US...

At that same cafe in Brussels, I ate some horse meat. It was, of course, delicious. Had a yuge bowl of mussels straight from the English Channel waters in a cafe in Honfleur, France, on the Normandy coast. They farm them there by sinking pilings in the water off the beach and hang nets off them for the mussels to attach themselves to and grow. Slaves get what they need. Free men get what they want.

You're just wasting heat, butter, brown sugar, cheese, pepper, and everything else folks try to cover up that garbage with. PHOOEY!!!!! I can walk on water.......................but I do stagger a bit on alcohol.

That's a good idea. I'll set it out about 500 yards,....................cause the Creedmoor is just getting started good at that range.
