The following quote is taken from Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabaldon, Chapter 35, Bon Voyage . Copyright (c) 1997 by Diana Gabaldon. All rights reserved.

“Both self-consciousness and drafts were forgotten as she bit into the first hot pastry. A bridie was a plump hot pie in a half-moon shape, filled with minced steak and suet and spiced with onion. A rush of hot, rich juice and flaky pastry filled her mouth, and she closed her eyes in bliss.
“The food was either terribly bad or terribly good,” Claire had said, describing her adventures in the past. “That’s because there’s no way of keeping things; anything you eat has either been salted or preserved in lard, if it isn’t half rancid- or else it’s fresh off the hoof or out of the garden, in which case it can be bloody marvelous.”’

[> Bridies! (Leaha calls them 'birdies' *G*) They are, indeed, bloody marvelous! Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find them at Fergus but I Did have Two this year at Grandfather Mountain. Leaving for Fergus in a little while - can't wait to see my Lallypals and maybe this year I'll find a Bridie! After weeks and weeks of drought, it's raining here and forecasted to rain all weekend. Just like GFM this year. I wonder if it's because Fergus is advertised as 'Scotland without the airfare' . . . . -- CathyS, 06:52:07 08/09/12 Thu
