Re: The food of the Scots
The Scots diet of the middle-ages was threadbare.Improved farming methods slowly created more food and in the 18th century country folk had quite a healthy intake of food,based on kale,buttermilk and oatmeal,eaten mostly as porridge.Scots army recruits were praised for their fit state,size and good health.The royal infirmary in Glasgow set down the food that was to be given to patients on each day of the week.Breakfast and supper were always oatmeal porridge,except that on Sunday,were meat broth was the staple.Dinner,eaten in the middle of the day ,was meat and vegetable broth on alternative days;on two days there was herring,on another two ,cheese.This was a simple and incredibly nutritious pattern of eating.Only the wealthy could ,by overeating,achieve an un-healthy diet. :D
The picture changed rapidly with the growth of the Industrial Cities,Particularly Glasgow.In grinding poverty the cheapest food has to be eaten ,and by the second half of the 19th century the importation of cheap wheat meant that many lived on bread and tea.Energy was supplied by syrup and various preserved fruits,in the form of the ' jeelie piece ''.Where Cornishmen carried pasties containing potato and meat,the Scotsman carried his
' piece' - and children in tenement back courts had them thrown down from the upper windows.The jeelie piece does,at least,have structural stability.
The transport system was not organised to deliver perishable goods such as milk,fish,veg and fruit to the Cities in quantity;these would have enhanced the diet.In addition ,the overcrowded slums flats was not the environment which an enjoyment of cooking was going to develop,many,indeed,did not have a kitchen or even a stove.
Eeeewwwww Defo not me!!! I aint taking the blame for this one.... :whistling: :whistling: :innocent:
