Brave New Food

Scallops, black pudding, and peas

LL wants to try as many different types of Scottish and British foods as possible while she’s here.  We’ve made scallops and black pudding (neither of us can understand why they don’t leave the coral attached to the scallops back in North America, like they do here).  We’ve made lamb three different ways; she’s tried neeps (mashed turnip); Friday night was cod with samphire; and Sunday evening we made mince, neeps, and bubble & squeak. 

Cullen skink was a big hit, as was this morning’s kedgeree.

Also rans: Irn Bru, sticky toffee pudding, ox tongue, Marks & Spencer’s crisps, and her new absolute favourite: Cadbury’s Double Decker Chocolate Bars.
