Ray,

 

I will one of these days take a pic of the Haggis Pie. They are made up differently west coast to east up here. Grants who do the tinned version use to sell the pie also. Just now the Haggi are out grazing in the winter sun, well it sure aint Summer!

I had battered haggis 'n chips once in Scotland- but nothing unusual in that - surprisingly the chips weren't battered ..... :naughty:

Hi Poppy,

 

They just reserve that for Mars bars, I had one once in the Zavaroni fish shop on the Isle of Bute, it was very strange to say the least.

We like to be different up here Alan.   Now the DFM I do believe originates from a Fish n Chip shop in Stonehaven near Aberdeen. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep-fried_Mars_bar

 

I do like if its well seasoned, a deep fried, battered black puddin

Now that does sound NICE Iain, Trouble is, I can't find any black pudding around these parts, It's all that plastic wrapped mass produced stuff

 

Proper butchers black pudding is the only justification for civilization north of Nottingham. (and of course Haggis if you need to go further north)

 A pal was once in hospital in Glasgow. A nurse came to his bedside and handed him a glass of water and said

" here, take these".

He must have looked a little puzzled because shae urged him, saying " it's your meds".

 

"That's OK," he replied, " It's just that I've never seen battered meds before"   :hardhat:

Oh Poppy, I sent TWO cricketers to the Victoria Infirmary in Glasgow one Saturday afternoon, I err didn't  batter them though   I hit them in the gob with a cricket ball!  Ah happy days, uncovered wickets!

 

Also, that club supplied brilliant Scotch pies n beans at the tea interval. See keeping the food thread going!

Indeed OH DEAR!  That "chef" should be extracated to the Old Man of Hoy and made to live on the ones he cooked? Baked? Shocking!

I have tried standing on my head (not a pretty sight at this time of the morning),  any chance you can post the photo the right way round Ray and Carole.?

[BroadScot]

Good point Monica,

 

I am not into this Yogi malarky either, Ray you can turn it round in My Pictures and resend it. Or maybe our very clever Admin chappies can?

Hi Ray,

 

Please DON'T give up sending pics, I really quite like trying out YOGA!

Ray,

You need an app like photo editor as it depends what way up the iPad is when you take the picture. It will show ok on an iOS but not in windows. Or just take two pictures and rotate your iPad before the second one.

Awe Alan you've spoilt it now                                                                                         

 

We don't have a Waitrose in the area. Would require a drive up to Newton Mearns in Glesca to frequent such posh shops as that               

 

I see they have discounted back to the right prices 

 

 

Iain

[ranworthbreeze]

As far as I am aware  Waitrose is even dearer that Tesco or Sainsbury.  Even John Lewis staff with their partnership discount it is debateable if it is worthwhile shopping there.

 

Regards

Alan

[RayandCarole]

Eek feel so guilty shopping at waitrose now

Only do it when gins on offer

Noted all the comments about posting pics

Seems much easier to just use the trusty old digital camera

Faves from the boat cookbook as a child were - luncheon meat fritters - always lightly golden, the tinned pies (which always avoided) copious amounts of tinned soup & best of all chips! The oil could never get hot enough to make them golden so they were beautifully mushy! The Osocool wasn't much good or big enough for much fresh stuff! Suffice to say my boat cookbook today is somewhat different!

BroadScot, looks like you'd best keep some filo pasty in the cupboard   http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3108865/Scottish-Parliament-goes-posh-deep-frying-Mars-Bars-filo-pastry.html

Poppy,

 

Very few Scots buy that paper   It was done as a one off I believe, (nay wonder!) Nope not for me thank you.
