So we are going to a themed 'countries of the world' dress and cook up party! we are going as scottish, so getting the kilts happening and learning a little jig, but i am abit stuck on what i should cook...... does anyone have any nice scottish recipes for tmx? and no we dont want to make haggis!!!!!

Atholl brose is easy and tasty. Cranachan is easy too - google to get some ideas and if tey are suitable then we can help.

Depends on how mcuh whiskey you want to drink.

The atholll brose can be a drink or pudding or like a syllabub.

You could make clootie dumplings too if it were Christmas.

Tablet is so sickly sweet, but not sure that the TMX would get to a high enough temp to cook it?

Cock-a leekie soup would be good, but don't think sheep's head broth would win many fans.

Atholl brose syllabub is my fav.

yum thanks thermomixer for your great suggestions.
just googled atholl brose and cranachan and they sound yummo. cock-a-leekie soup sounds like it would be easy to convert.
hmm you might be right about the sheep's head broth thermomixer, not a crowd pleaser!!!

Cock-a-Leekie
Sweet Mutton Hot Pot & Dumplings

Anything with Whiskey sounds good to me!

Thanks Nay-Nay - was also thinking Shortbread then suddenly worried that perhaps it wasn't really scottish  ??? :-))
