Help on some Scottish food to sample

[Tomak]

One word...HAGGIS!

[Jock Scot]

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

[Rick Y]

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.

[vmac3205]

I'll raise a dram to that idea. If you buy frozen pastry dough, you can knock mini-bridies out in a heart beat.

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!

What kind of scones? ;)

What kind of scones? ;)

Tattie ones...

Then you have Orkney Fudge, tablet, macaroons, tunnocks caramel wafers, the infamous deep fried mars bars...

Aberdeen butteries should be fairly easy to find a recipe for. Ideal after 15 seconds in the microwave, or unheated with butter and jam... Breakfast for many a student on their way to college...

Snickerdoodle scones. My grandkids love them and my grandkids range from toddler to university graduates so it's not just young kids who eat them.
