Scottish food suggestions needed

[csbdr]

So once a month the folks at my work do a friday themed potluck, and November is "Bring your own National food" . I was wondering if the rabble could give me some suggestion of Scottish dishes which I could bring, and would reheat decently in a microwave if done carefully. NO HAGGIS suggestions, only because it's so obvious, as is shortbread, but anything else would be welcome!

(and yes, I know I'm American, and I will not bring McDonalds....just play along )

Smoked salmon and a wee tot of Talisker whisky, is dead easy to do.

Yes!

That's the best advice you're going to get. Sounds like heaven to me.

Every time I have brought smoked salmon to an event it has always been very well recieved.

This is a great suggestion.

Assuming whisky is not allowed as a side dish, you could always enjoy this yourself after work

Cheers

Maybe a nice shepherd's pie, or cottage pie if you do not have any lamb available. It's a traditional dish that most will not consider too "exotic". It is relatively simple, easily re-heated, and a sure crowd-pleaser, even with a picky crowd. I have an 8y.o., a 4y.o., a 3y.o., and a wife that will not eat anything I like, but there is barely enough left over for my lunch the next day when I make one.

But do check out the recipe thread in the off topic area. I have really enjoyed the posts there!

Aye, smoked salmon, crannachan and, even, porrage with sugar, salt or heather honey!

All washed down with bottles of imported Scottish beer!

Surprised no-one has mentioned Cullen Skink, bit like clam chowder but with smoked fish instead. Really delicious. Mind you Jock's suggestion sounds the least bother.

In Ireland, smoked salmon is often served on buttered brown soda bread, how would you serve it here in Scotland? Oatcakes? Buttered?

In this part of the highlands we serve a plate(large) full covered with smoked salmon, a twist of lemon, a wee tad of black pepper(not too much the Talisker is peppery enough) half a dozen smoked mussels, a couple of langoustines and a plate of freshly cut brown bread covered with real butter.

Often for breakfast we have half a plate of smoked salmon, twist of lemon, black pepper and scrambled egg-----simply delicious! Around here we call it "woodcock on toast". Why? I have no idea!

Now that is the way to start a day!
