My granny used to make a local traditional dish of flaked fish and potatoes, known as 'hairy willy'. And in our little part of Scotland we speak Doric, boys are called 'loons'. So you can imagine my English fathers discomfort first time he met his new mother-in-law and she greeted him with the immortal line... "would you like some hairy willy my loon?"  |

Date and walnut cake.
Rice pudding with skin....I know, sounds wrong but tastes so look good.
Parkin.
Crochet mats/shawls/blankets.
Bread with home made jam.
And she NEVER weighed anything. Just bunged it all in her big bowl and it came out amazing.

Everything. They lived off the land everything was used. Baking, pickling, bread, cakes, cheese you name it.
Clothes all made, knitted, crocheted. I should really use some of the things she taught me |
