SC - scottish food & cookery

[Thomas Gloning]

I have no recipes, only a few notes:

Andrew Borde, in "The fyrst boke of the Introduction of knowledge"
(1542), says about certain regions of Scotland:
"[therein] is plenty of fysh and flesh, and euell ale, excepte Leth ale;
there is plenty of hauer cakes, whiche is to say, oten cakes".

About another part, he says:
"Theyr Fyshe and Fleshe, be it rosted or soden, is serued wyth a syrup
or a sause in one disshe or platter: of al nacyons they do sethe theyr
fysh moste beste".

And in a specimen of their dialect: "A pygge is good meate.  _A gryce is
gewd sole_".

In his 'Dietary' he says: "for hauer cakes in Scotlande is many a good
lorde and lordes dysshe" (p.259). There is a note in the Furnivall
edition with a complaint of an old author that then lords ate plenty of
"new, fine, and delicate dishes" (259-60; from Harrison's _Description
of Scotland_, prefixed to Holinshed's _Historie_, ed. 1586).

There are quotations in the OED:
- -- 1606 Peacham Art of Drawing 68 "A blew stone, such as they make Haver
or Oten cakes upon". [What does that mean?]
- -- There are 15th century recipes for haggis. Would it be safe to assume
that these preparations apply to Scotland too?

I think it might be good to take a look at the 7 volume "Scottish
National Dictionary" too for expressions like _oat cake_, _haggis_,
_bannock_.

Below are some books from copac.ac.uk (with the keywords "scottish" and
"cookery").
