| Scotch Woodcock | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | |
| The woodcock for centuries was the most prised game bird in Europe. In England the cocker spaniel was |
| bred to aid in the hunting of this famed bird, while on the comtinent poets drifted into rhapsody as they |
| wrote about the woodcock as a dish so fine it could be served at a "banquet of gods". Just as the English |
| laughed at the Welsh, they had scant respect for the Scots, who were deemed both poor and parsimonious. |
| Jokes about the overy frugal Scotsman have gone around the world, but they began in England. It was |
| almost inevitable, once Welsh Rabbit became well known, that someone would come up with a companion |
| dish and name it Scotch Woodcock. | | | | | | | |
