Scotch Pies,

A whole world of edible surrealism. The classic Scotch pie is a sort of marginally edible UFO-like object about four inches across, made with a brutally simple pastry contrived by pouring boiling water over flour and beef dripping, and filled with minced mutton. The best, or usual, way of eating a Scotch pie is when pissed out of your mind – it’s a vernacular equivalent of the late night Vindaloo in more sensible climes. The bakers of Scotland have branched out in more recent years to take in as a surprising amount of current food culture: here are some notes from the Real World Consultant, who has suffered in the cause of art the length and breadth of the country.

Firstly, a word of advice, don’t, as a tenor of my experience did, go into Mr Chips on Sauchiehall Street and demand quiche, only the fact that he is 1) very nice, 2) Australian and 3) a former pugilist with a 57 inch chest saved him from a possible misunderstanding. Here, in case you are salivating already, are a few alternatives to help avoid night starvation; The Huntly (silver medal at the Smithfield Show, don’t even begin to speculate about the gold) Award winning Lasagne Pie (not my capitals), mashed potato and beans pie, macaroni pie, and all day breakfast pie (Dr. Biswell&#39;s Favourite). I have yet to encounter a Haggis and Whisky sauce pie, but it is only a matter of time. Not forgetting chicken tikka pasties, cornish pasties, scots pasties (what are they?). If it is immobile, preferably dead and minced, and can be enfolded (culinary term) into a coffinette of pastry, there is a good chance you will find it in a bakery somewhere in Scotland.

I hate it when you pick a piece up and you can&#39;t put it down because the little suckers won&#39;t let go.

Over here they are called fish sticks; I expect this is so because "fish fingers" could be colloquialized much too easily to mean something, um.....else.

Let&#39;s see.....hmmmmm......got it&#33;

Bill Clinton had......uh......no-wait....um....Monica had.....oh, fuck it&#33;

The cigar really stunk afterwards, OK?

In any case, fish sticks make an excellent sandwich.

Having been force fed fish till it came out of my ears as a child I could never see the attraction of the bland lumps masquerading as food.

I used to beg for a Frey Bentos pie as a child but my father (a good Aberdonian)insisted that fish was better for us - generally it took about 1 hour to catch a bucket full.

My mum did make a mean crab and lobster butty though.

Do you feel that this frequent consumption of fish in your formative years is responsible for your unfeasibly well developed intellectual capacity. I believe Wooster may have attributed it to that.
