Sorry Gunner Ishbel's right it is Scottish and I'm a Mc not a Mac ....meaning I'm Irish decent. That's my excuse  and I'm sticking to it ...lol     I was a Chef of a Scottish Pub years ago and one of the popular requests for our Scotch Nosings was Finnan Haddie Soup  as one of the courses.....basicly it has to consist of Smoked Haddock
When ya get to my age ...well the storage files get a little mixed around!

Thanks for the FYI Ishmal!

P.S. What's a Finn & Haddie? it's the only thing in that list I have never heard of or tried already.

You know the Mac being Scots and Mc being Irish is a fallacy, doncha?

And now you have me intrigued, what is a Scotch Nosings?  (And you know that nowadays unless you are referring to specific Scottish dishes, such as Scotch eggs, Scotch beef or whisky, we prefer NOT to use the word 'Scotch' to describe natives of Scotand?

Hahahaha, well you'd have to argue that one out with my dear old dad! He has the long lineage to the Orange from  Northern Ireland and well need I say more?
Mom's from  Southern Ireland ....if ya need a slice of Humble Pie she's the one to go to ...well dad he's just an old dog with no new tricks!

Scotch Nosing is not a reference to Scotts ,it is a Scotch Tasting ...but the best way is through the nose ....hence Scotch Nosing
Well we used to have over 100 scotches on the bar ...some were as I can recall $30 a shot!
Anyhow the Nosings were always booked solid! You got a 4 course meal 6 scotches to accompany ..they play games and have a scotch blinding where your blind folded and prize giveaways....Lots of fun had by all and my kitchen staff got a pretty big kick out of the bag pipers...yup the Scotch Nosing was Piped in! The Piper was offered a Nosing meal too if he chose to stay it was an allnight gala after with more piping and songs!
