milky_26 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 i dont think i've ever had skirlie. i would have doughballs but not the stupidly overcooked ones in the picture in the OP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greedy Jambo Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I get those cheap mince neeps and tatties that you heat in the microwave occasionally. Decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcticJambo Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) @Angel eyesI often pop into Cameron's in Arbroath for a steak bridie (ooooft!!) and they sell the skirlie there. What is it/does it taste like .... like white pudding, the good stuff you used to get back in the day? In the central Arctic they used to make dough balls/dumplings with boiled goose; they were absolute piggy but used to give me horrendous tummy aches. Saying that, maybe it was the goose, come to think of it. Edited October 15, 2021 by ArcticJambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Another angle is mince with veg in when you cook it or not? I say yes to carrots but peas can eff off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, up here in Lewis, everyone thinks it's disgusting. I almost started to believe folk that I was a deviant, glad that JKB could reassure me.

pablo Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Had to Google Skirlie, knew it couldn't be an Edinburgh thing. Now I know what it is, I'd give it a go. Not had mince and tatties in years. It was always made with onion and carrot. Peas would be on the side if at all. Plain buttered bread too. Used to have it a couple of times a week growing up, or it felt like it anyway. Everyone loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate when people add peas and carrots into the mince. It ruins the meal. Mince needs peas through it, and onions, and carrots. Marrowfat though, no no no. Worcester sauce though, absolutely, it's not complete without it. And if you're not having bread and butter, step back and ask what you're doing with your life, the nick of you.
