Ingredients may vary but a in My Opinion a true Nova Scotia Hodge Podge has to contain New baby Carrots from the garden or farm market , young Green or Yellow Beans and freshly harvested little new potato , all fresh from the garden or farm market .
Some folks put Turnip ,Onion and even nips of bacon in it. One must include lots of Butter and heavy cream, salt & pepper to taste.
