i have a Scotish friend coming for Christmas dinner, we are in spain. This is her first xmas away from home and i would love to surprise her by putting something Scottish on the menu. Any ideas? By the way I have access to Morisons in Gibraltar, so i might be able to get ingridients.

Booze, always goes down well with us scottish folk

Just tell her that you always have a teetotal xams, but because she is here,

Or on a serious note, I'd do t he Cranacsdjkla whatsit. Coz it's seriously lovely and quite light

If you were thinking of biscuits and cheese have oatcakes instead

You may notice a trend for low fat healthy options (not!!!)

spruceylucy5 · 20/12/2005 19:47

Edinburgh was the last place she lived am not sure before that I will find out. I went to gibraltar today and got the stuff for tablet. I also got iron bru, short bread, oat cakes, whiskey, a haggis and lots of other bits. It seemed so strange bringing a haggis into Spain. Thank god I didnt get stopped by customs.
