NOTES : Skirlie accompanies meats, game birds, cod, soups or mashed
potatoes. Uncooked, its nutty texture makes a delicious stuffing for
chicken or boiled mutton. It is also known as Mealie Pudding in some parts
of Scotland, where it is steamed in a greased basin for one hour before
being turned out. Small spoonfuls are often rolled into balls and cooked in
boiling soup like dumplings; for example, in Scots Broth I and Scots Broth
II. It is sold in sausage form throughout Scotland. (See Black Pudding.)
