What are your favorite Scottish, and particularly Highland, food and dining traditions?

Scottish salmon!

**Bugbear** · 5th June 10, 07:01 PM

Are there traditions that go along with eating these traditional foods? For example, is there a traditional way of eating salmon, or are there traditional side dishes etc?

Venison and claret!

Here you go Ted, a traditional "Jock" meal that we enjoy from time to time (not every day!!)

Smoked salmon washed down with Talisker whisky.

A roast young Red Grouse(one each), red currant jelly, new potatoes( boiled with a sprig of mint), fresh from the garden sliced runner beans, washed down with glass,or two, of GOOD claret.

Stilton cheese, with a good port---Taylors '63.

And, most important of all----Good company.

Jock, I'm coming over for supper at your house!!!

Hmmm, had not ever tried boiling potatos with mint. Interesting.

Bugbear,

Boiling new taties with fresh mint is the Only way!

Jock,
I might substitute the Stilton for Gorgonzola, otherwise I'm ready to be invited!

Must say though, "mince an' tatties still go down well!!!
