Thanks, Anne X. How much I enjoy it depends on how good a job I make of it!

For those of you who have been searching for bere meal, the shop in Traill Street now has it in. Sorry, don't know what the shop is called. It's the old fashioned shop a couple of doors along from the Bistro.
I was on the point of giving up, having looked for the bere meal in all the likely local shops as well as shops in Inverness and Aberdeen.
