Christmas leftovers – a one-day blessing, seven day curse. Boxing day: you’re quite looking forward to your turkey and stuffing sandwich. New year’s day: you’re wondering why on earth you consigned yourself to this endless leftover sandwich diet and when this food purgatory will end. Don’t worry, Yorkshire Grub has your back with these slightly…
Yes, yes, this recipe has ‘Scotch’ in the title and it’s on a website called Yorkshire Grub. But, while this savoury treat’s origins are a bit murky, one thing that seems clear is that it’s unlikely to have actually originated in Scotland and Yorkshire is, in fact, a possible candidate.

I tend to think of it as a North American dish, too. It conjures images of American moms from 1960s sitcoms you never watched serving up…
Knaresborough is, in my experience, about as nice a place to spend a day hung over with your mates as you’ll find. It’s dominated by the River Nidd and the lovely old buildings running along it.
