You're SO right, KathyV!

And
Cranachan
Tipsy Laird
Clootie Dumpling
Border Tart
Scones
Tattie Scones
Jam tarts
Dundee cake
Oatcakes
Lentil Soup
Scotch Broth
Scotch Eggs
Cock a Leekie soup
Tablet (kind of Scottish fudge)
Butterscotch



And, most importantly, porridge.

Stewart - I don't know about living like your ancestors - most Scots were extremely poor, and meat did not feature that regularly in the Scots diet from hundreds of years ago

Frankly, there are so many McDonalds here, along with starbucks (BLECH) and other US chains for fast food, that no American would ever feel the lack of their own foods!

Polwarth, do you know if Sticky Toffee Pudding is originally English or Scottish? (not that i particularly care when eating it! )
