    Default Caithness Food

    Mrs Kodiak and I have been watching the Hairy Bikers on TV going around the UK cooking different Regional Dishes.

    This got us thinking, What is the Dish that represents Caithness. After a long discussion we were undecided so I thought all you out there in Org-Land would be the best people to ask.

    So what would you all say would be the Very Best Dish to represent Caithness?

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.

    Mince and tatties. I don't like mince and tatties, but still. Or maybe scotch pies. Or, most likely, Old Pultney.

    Has to be lamb, beef or fish what with these being readily available locally with Caithness housing the best of Scottish meat production and having fine trout fishing. Also I can taste the difference and have done the Highland show taste challenge and found our local honey by taste every time....got to be the best!

    I suppose it would have to be a dish including herring. Maybe a herring pie with a Groats Tatties topping, served with local veg, followed by local fruit crumble and cream, all washed down with Old Pulteney. I am making myself hungry here.

    I always used to associate Caithness (Thurso) with the best steak in the world, aka the Upper Deck! it was famous for it's steaks, not so sure it is anymore! shame!
