The Shetland Islands' proximity to Scandinavia is evident in its traditional celebration Up-Helly-A , during which the Shetland inhabitants, dressed as Vikings, carry a long-boat through the streets of Lerwick and later set it on fire! Norse influence is also evident in the food traditions of the Shetlanders. Ingredients:

2 stalks celery, chopped |

salt |
freshly ground black pepper |
48 -50 fluid ounces ham stock (or other stock) |
freshly chopped parsley |
Directions:
1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan and sauté the lentils and all the vegetables.
2. Season with salt and black pepper and add the stock.
3. Bring to the boil and simmer for 2 hours.
