Day 27 - Lorne Sausage

Rumour has it the sausage was named after Glasgow music hall entertainer Tommy Lorne, who took the piss out of the Glasgow square sausage by calling it "a doormat", although Lorne in Argyll disagrees.

Day 26 - Scottish Plain Loaf

An economical way to make bread – as the loaves rise upwards – and so popular with working class, city dwelling folk. This in turn gave rise to the plain-loaf/pan-loaf way of speech – to speak in a “pan loafy voice” is to have made your voice posh, losing your city vernacular for a more refined, aspirational way of speaking.

Day 25: Chicken Tikka Masala

Ahmed Aslam Ali, owner of the Shish Mahal in Glasgow’s west end, claims to have invented the dish, after a diner during the 1970s complained about the dryness of his chicken tikka dish and the chef dumped a can of tomato soup over the top.

Day 24: Dundee Marmalade

Legend has it a Spanish ship with a lot of Seville oranges in the hold had to take refuge in Dundee harbour during the winter of 1700, and an enterprising Scot - James Keiller - bought the cargo. When the oranges proved too bitter to sell, his equally enterprising wife Mrs Keiller made marmalade of them.
