Help on some Scottish food to sample

**Tony** · 22nd October 13, 08:50 AM

Dear Rabble,
I've just been tasked with helping out for International night at my daughter's school and need to make something Scottish.

Basically something than can be eaten as finger food, savory or sweet.

I've already practiced my shortbread recipe so I'm fine there. Just off to a nearby British shop to see if they have any Irn Bru.

Any and all suggestions welcome.

Smoked salmon, served on buttered(real salted butter) oatcakes.

Scottish hard-boiled eggs.

Scotch Eggs are actually English and the term "Scotch" refers to the cooking process, i.e wrapping them in sausage and then cooking them. Forfar Bridies and a wonderful savory and can be made small enough for finger foods. Smoked salmon on anything is always a good idea.

mini bridies are probably beyond me.
what I really need is for Trader Joe's to launch a line of frozen mini Scotch pies. Tomorrow.

Sure, go ahead and bring my ignorance to everyone's attention!!

Now you've reduced by 50% my repertoire of authentic Scottish cooking that I can do. Everyone is going to get very tired, very quickly, of eating nothing but scones all the time!

I love smoked salmon. A good friend has a smoker and does his own and regularly shares.

Sorry, we buy them!

Another suggestion, Can you get Stilton Cheese?

Oatcake, real butter and stilton cheese(take the cheese out of the cooler for at least 8 hours before serving) and if it were not for school consumption, washed down with a good glass of port.
