I assume you are thinking of a sweet wafer here and not a
savory one. If you get a good savory wafer recipe, please
let me know. I think I'm giving up on a savory wafer for
my Candlemas luncheon and going back to the sweet wafers
which have worked out twice with good reviews. Argh, only
four more weeks. I still need some good foods that can be
prepared ahead by an inexperienced cook and set out for the 
Royalty to browse on at lunch. Compost and sweet wafers and 
maybe a duck is all I have come up with so far.

Yes, same here, but at least it is only for a dozen folks or so.
Perhaps I will look at such a dish. It is unusual and I can
probably do that by myself even though I'm much less experienced
than you. Could haslet be cooked ahead and stored or would it
get soggy if I did that? It would need to be refrigerated, I
imagine.

There is a reason it is called the Barony of the Steppes there.
Perhaps you should move down here. We got hills and it is cooler
in the summer. But little snow, I'm afraid.

Yes, the English said that too. But I hear they gave it back to
the Scots recently. Who'd want to sit on a rock, anyway?
