Another scot here. There are regional variations up here too.

Like salt and SAUCE on your fish supper.

Chippy sauce. Love it. Or hate it.

What I missed the most from Aberdeen was Rowies or Butteries was the other name,used to buy them and get them sent down to Wiltshire   ;D Can't eat them now though   :( Gf and all that,probably just as well,about 5 million calories a bite

Love salt and brown sauce on my Smoked Sausage Supper but salt and vinegar on my Fish Supper!
Another Scot here! 
Stovies, but like them made with sausages and not corned beef.
Hubby loves a hot Scotch Pie (fresh from the butchers) on a buttered roll with the butter running out the side.  Not so great for the low carb diet!
I'm another who would seriously consider moving if wee Nicola gets her independence. I'm away to make me a bowl of scots porridge oats for breakfast, although I cannot stomach the true Scottish way of making it with water and salt!

Well Holidaylover, my mouth is watering! I love stovies with sausages too (with brown sauce). My dad used to love mince, dough balls, neeps and tatties. It was all a bit mushy but tasty  ;D…..
The butteriest, crumbliest shortbread is hard to beat 😋

Oh Songbird, DOUGHBALLS!!  We called them doughboys!  I have a beef casserole to go into the slo cooker for tea tonight and I am going to make doughballs.  Great idea!  I love them.  In fact, when I was young and we had them in mince I could have sat with a whole plate of all the suety yuminess and done without the meat.  Something very comforting about stodge!  Love shortbread too, I make it for my Christmas hampers.  And there was me, starting my diet this week!

Hope you enjoy your lovely casserole tonight holidaylover.  I love to make a nice beef casserole and hubby loves dumplings in them.  He thinks it’s more refined than “dough balls”. Don’t have the heart to tell him it’s exactly the same thing  :rofl:
I always remember (as a girl) my brother calling me a “doughball” when I did something silly -
charming  >:(;D
