South Scotland - Food & Drink
Southern Scotland boasts a distinctive cuisine that is slowly sneaking on to menus in local restaurants. Kick off with crab, the main ingredient in creamy Parton Bree soup, or chicken and leeks in delicious Cock-a-Leekie. Look out for Tweed Kettle, a salmon dish flavoured with mace and chives, haggis and rumbledethumps, a regional variation of bubble and squeak made from potato and cabbage. Finish with a flourish of clootie dumpling, a rich dessert similar to Christmas pudding, and Crannog, a soft cheese from Dumfries. Those with a sweet tooth can order a slice of spicy Black Bun fruit cake, or an Eyemouth tart (cherries, walnuts and coconut in pastry and covered with icing). Treat the kids to minty Hawick balls or Jedburgh's speciality boiled sweets known as Jethart Snails.
