October 4, 201311 yr Have you ever made a Clooty dumpling Jups :unsure: I tried but it all flopped and was really yucky. It ended up in the bin. My granny used to make them all the time. :wub:

October 6, 201311 yr Went out with my nephew & kiddes yesterday afternoon for a meal , it took three restaurants until we could get a table & believe it or not we have a recession here or so they say anyway -_-
October 6, 201311 yr There used to be a Pennys in Hamilton. Years ago. It was cheap n cheerful. It's now a Primark. -_-
October 6, 201311 yr and what is a Dumpling clooty? :unsure: Sparkle, how will you possibly cope when you emigrate to Scotland? You are clueless when it comes to things Caledonian. :( Cloot is a Scottish word for cloth. Clootie comes from that. This type of dumpling is wrapped in a cloth. Hence Clootie Dumpling. ^_^
