 Cock a leekie.
 For six.
 6 chicken pieces
 4 leeks
 1 carrot
 salt
 pepper
 trimmings from turnips (see Haggis recipe)
 chicken stock
 Cut off green leaves of leeks. Peel carrote. Boil leek greens and
 carrot peelings and turnip trimmings in large pan of boiling water for
 twenty minutes. Pour into another pan through sieve. Add chicken

 Haggis
 For 12 people
 2 sheep's paunches (stomach bag)
 1 ox heart
 1.5 lb ox liver
 1 lb lamb stewing meat
 5 teaspoons black pepper
 6 small chopped onions
 1 lb steel cut oats
 0.5 lb beef suet
 mixed herbs (Thyme Sage, Basil)
 Wash the paunch well and soak in cold brine for 2-3hrs. Turn it inside
 out and scrape with a  knife. Boil the meat for 1.5hrs. Sew up the
 paunch with very fine string leaving a hole big enough to fill with
 stuffing. Chop the meat finely and mince in mixer. Dump in large mixing
 bowl and add pepper, mixed herbs, onions, suet and oats. Mix well and
 fill the paunch two thirds full with the mixture. Sew up remainder of
 panch. Boil in water for 3 hours. When bag becomes tight, prick all
 over with a sharp needle (not a knife). Remove from the pan and place
 on a hotplate. Move it to the table
 To serve, slit open and serve with mashed potatoes and mashed turnip
 and blended whisky.
 Cranichan
 1 pt whipping cream
 1 lb cream cheese (we used Mascarpone)
 250 g honey
 1-2 lb raspberries/Blackberries/Boysenberries
 0.5 lb steel cut oats
 1 bottle whisky
 Toast oats in oven till dry and just beginning to brown.  Whip
 cream.  Mix 50:50 cream and mascarpone.  Add a large shot of whisky
 and tablespoon honey to taste.
 Two ways to serve:
 Put bowls of Crowdie (cream, cheese, honey & whisky), berries,
 whisky bottle, honey jar and oats on tables and everyone helps
 themselves.
 Put oats in bottom of a glass. Add more whisky and honey to crowdie
 and pour over oats. Pour Berries on top. Serve.
