New Year's Day menu? Scottish posters don't need to respond!

[Kirriemuir]

As I assume its steak pie!!!

What are you having and do you do a special meal on NYD?

We are lentil soup, steak pie and then ice cream. Same lunch on NYD for 40 years!

My mum used to always have a vienetta!

I'm Scottish and we do steak pie on Christmas Day. On New Year's Day we have a ham and a steamed salmon, both cold, with various salads and sides and then some very indulgent M&S puddings. That said, we all pile round to my auntie and uncle's house, so everyone brings something (side dish or pudding).

Is it not a law in Scotland that mums have to offer Vienetta on New Years Day? :) I love a Vienetta

Bit of a generalisation there OP

We don't have steak pie either despite being Scottish. New Year is normally a buffet dinner

Asda are doing a giant Viennetta for £1.50 just now

I want a vienetta now

We don't have steak pie we basically have a roast dinner.

I'm betraying my Scottishness and not having steak pie!

I'll be making venison stew, I've made it the last several years so now no one will let me change!

Redglitter a fairly decent generalisation if everyone I know is anything to go by. It's not like the op was being insulting.

Actually hardly anyone I know has steak pie now a days on New years so to say Scottish people need not reply because we're all supposedly having steak pie was an incorrect generalisation. So far everyone who's replied has said they're not having it

Everyone I know is having it but ice cream surely you mean triffle?

Really something to get faced at though?

Shenanigans depends if the trifle is with or without jelly - that's a whole other can of worms

Have to admit I had no idea you still got Vienetta going to have to hunt that down. That was always the 'special occasion' dessert in our house

My mum loved the mint one. It was her favourite dessert!

This is a lighthearted threat. Some just seem to have a poker up their arse.

Thank you to those who see it for what it is.

Lighthearted threat.

Be happy. Or else.

I like whole baked salmon with dill, lemon and fennel, served with new potatoes and salad or lots of green veg. Something healthy and refreshing after all that Christmas food.

But unless we have guests we're usually still eating up left over ham, beef or turkey.

I came here to say excuse me don't assume we're eating haggis because I hate haggi...oh yeah actually we are having steak pie

Looking for pudding ideas though, I only like the biscuit vienetta and I haven't seen that for years.

I'm having deep fried Mars bars, washed down with irn-bru

Ohfuds, that would be hangover breakfast surely!?

Why would anyone NOT want to have steak pie. Homemade, with sausages, roast potatoes, a few vegetables (for show). If I'm ever of death row (hopefully unlikely), that's what I'm getting.

Out of interest I know deep fried Mars Bars are believed to be a staple part of our diet north of the border but has anyone actually tried one?

We're having home made steak pie and Vienetta for pudding - steak pie is ace on New Years to help with the hangover

We always have a steak pie dinner about 10pm on Hogmanay to line out bellies before drinking! Thought everyone did?

I tend to get two steak pie dinners one with my family on the first and then with dps family on the second

Obviously very Scottish

Deep fried mars bars are delicious, even Nigella has a reciepe for deep fried bountys. Think of a Chinese banana fritter batter, and once you open it up melted chocolate, caramel and nougat oozes out. What's not to like. Most chip shops don't do them as if they leak the whole vat of oil needs changed.

My mum is Scottish and we always had roast beef or roast lamb. Now we go out this new years day it's Caribbean food.

Of at home Its often Chinese home made it a home made curry as I am sick of roast meat and gravy by that point.

I want a steak pie NOW!
