Historian,
Black Bun ?? I thought I was the only person who loved it .... everyone else I know can't stand the stuff ..... just as well it only appears at New Year !!!! 😉
Oh and the Anti Irish rubbish (just for the record) works both ways in Scotland .... and they all should be ashamed of themselves !!! Spoken as a Scot !!!
My favourite thing to eat in Scotland and the thing I miss the most .... ok, weird perhaps ... a fish supper out of Joes Chip Shop, Cowdenbeath !! Heaven !!! 😉
