Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Furth in Field: A Volume of Essays on the Life, Language and Literature of Old Scotland "O gie me the times when auld ploys were in vogue, An´ the cake an´ the kebbuck gaed down wi´ the cogue!" Hew Ainslie. The ancient hamely fare of the Scottish peasant has undergone a change within the last two or three generations. The halesome parritch is still, indeed, the chief of Scotia´s food, though to a less extent than it was when Burns proclaimed its praise. Toasted cakes of oatmeal are, however - the more´s the pity - perceptibly rarer even in farm kitchens than they were wont to be, while girdle cakes are practically unknown. To many people, whose immediate forefathers were possibly reared upon them, the distinction between those varieties of cake is probably only speculative. But while oatmeal has been declining somewhat in popular favour among our rustics, barley-meal may be said to have gone out of use altogether. The souple scone, the wale o´ food, is merely a memory. It is almost necessary to say nowadays to an unenlightened public that it was a creation of barley-meal. John Barleycorn is still, no doubt, the king of grain on hundreds of Scottish farms.
