Scottish Staple Foods

Now I am dwelling on the gross I know but OMG I didn't know Octopus had edible testicals! euuggghh! Wizzy, where in the world were you, how drunk were you and how much money did you win? LOL


Here, at various 'specialty' restaurants the brave or senseless can order 'Rocky Mountain Oysters'. These actually grow on elk, just a certain half of the elk and the first time the Hubby's grandfather cooked and ate them in front of me I lost it and had to be cleaned up after! (I was 7 months pregnant at the time but I am sure that had NOTHING to do with why I lost it!) That was actually the nastiest thing I ever witnesses!

Thank you for the information but some of it was unnecessary, though amusing. Isn't laver more Welsh? I wouldn't really know though because I'm from Australia but of Scottish descent.

Laver bread IS Welsh, but seawead is eaten in most of the Celtic countries - In Scotland the seawead that is most commonly eaten is called dulse.

Polwarth, I've heard that seaweed is edible in a form other than carrageenan (normally how it's used in the States, often as a thickener, if I'm not mistaken). How do the Scots cook it?
