WE HAD CULLEN STA NK AT THE BAXTERS VISITORS CENTER A FEW YEARS AGO

ROBERT YOJU CAN GET SCOTTISH PLAIN BREAD FROM TESCO
Mothers Pride Scottish Plain Medium Sliced White Bread (800g)
ITS A VERY TASTY BREAD.

Rabbie, I haven't had Cullen Skink in years, suppose its cause i
can have it any time I'm out, my daughter in law however has it every
time we are all out for a meal.
As for plain bread, love it with butter and syrup, and had a crispy roll
this morning. You must enjoy every mouth full when back here on a
visit.

Robert, I have never tried Cullen Skink, but just adore Plain Bread.
Some years ago, I used to be able to get it on Derby Market, but have not seen it for years. Oh the old foods. Makes my mouth water.

Thanks, Emma,

A couple of weeks ago in the Highlands I had Cullen Skink for the first time in years - absolutely delicious!!!

Brought home plenty Plain Bread and a supply of well fired rolls but sadly I have eaten them all and I can' get them here in the North East (of England).

The local Baker does a good Scotch Pie (alongside Polish bread) so he is quite "international.

Rabbie

I'm with you laddie. :-D :-D
