I used to hike in places where potable water was sometimes
hard to come by. Water was a necessity, probably #1 in the
summer.

In familiar territory, or one where the topography is, as
they say, an open book, maybe. My sense of direction was
sucked out of my brain to the degree that I'm beginning to
take a compass out in the city, even ones that are somewhat
familiar. I doubt that I'll get to the point of needing a
handheld GPS, though.

SCOTCH TOAST
cat: Scots, sandwich, snack
Serves: 2

4 toasted oatcakes
2 Tb butter
2 egg yolks
1 egg white
fish paste
1 pn cayenne pepper
2 Tb browned breadcrumbs

Make sure oatcakes are hot.

Melt butter in a pan, add egg yolks, egg white, fish paste,
pepper. Stir until thick. Pile mixture on top of oatcakes.

Sprinkle with browned breadcrumbs; serve immediately.

 This little savoury sounds rather odd when scanning the
 ingredients, but it's really very tasty. If nothing else it will
 give you the opportunity to sample an interesting and delicious
 fish paste, quite unlike the commercial varieties.

FISH PASTE
cat: ingredient, Scots, Chinese
Yield: 1 3/4 lb

2 lb any white fish *
2 Tb dry sherry
2 Tb light soy sauce
2 green onions, chopped
1 in piece fresh ginger, grated
1 Tb sesame oil
1 egg
salt and pepper to taste

* If you put in a piece of salmon it will add great flavour!

The paste below is not a Scottish dish; it's Chinese. It's included
because Scotch Toast calls for it and most of the commercial fish
or 'bloater' pastes available are mediocre. Scottish cooking has a
long tradition of borrowing from other cultures and this recipe is
being borrowed from China because it's easily made, versatile, has
no fishy flavour and most importantly, is delicious!

Carefully remove all bones from the fish. Place the fish pieces
in a processor, grind to a smooth paste. Scrape the paste into a
bowl and add the other ingredients. Mix carefully.

* M's note: I think this means cooked fish.
