Scottish oatcakes are traditional flat cakes made from oats, similar to a biscuit, cracker, or flatbread. Although there are many versions of oatcakes - chewy or hard, rough or fine - they're usually made with a combination of rolled oats, oatmeal, butter (or bacon fat), salt, and hot water.

The two types of oats are mixed with melted butter and hot water. The dough is kneaded into a ball and then rolled out and cut into rounds. The oatcakes are baked in the oven for about half an hour and then eaten once they have cooled down. They've been made in Scotland since Roman times, but many people believe that the oatcakes were made long before that.

Deep-fried Mars bar is a famous Scottish delicacy and a champion of the jokingly-called Scottish Diet, where the rule is that sugar, fat, and alcohol must each account for at least 30% of a person's daily caloric intake. The unusual snack was invented in 1992 by the employees of the Carron fish bar in Stonehaven, a place where the popular fish and chips are served, and the deep-fried Mars chocolate bar (nougat and caramel coated in milk chocolate) is made in the same oil that the fish and chips were fried in.

However, this dessert became a Scottish tradition and was then copied in chip shops all across the country, and it even spread to Canada and Australia. One batter fits all - fish, chips, and the Mars bar. The batter is made by mixing milk, flour, and eggs. 

Named after the county town of Angus, where they originated in the 18th century as Scotland's answer to the already famed Cornish pasty, bridies are shortcrust pastry turnovers traditionally filled with chunks or strips of beef that was browned in suet with chopped onions.

As the local stories claim, the delicious Forfar bridies took the other part of their name from a certain Margaret Bridie of Glamis who sold them at Forfarshire's weekly market. In 1896, they were mentioned in James Matthew Barrie's novel Sentimental Tommy, which made them popular across Scotland, and over time it has become a tradition to eat bridies for lunch on Saturdays.

One of Scotland’s teatime staples, melting moments are traditional vanilla-flavored oat biscuits or cookies that are typically made by combining butter, caster sugar, eggs, flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, and oatmeal. The mixture is shaped into small, slightly flattened balls, which are then coated with either rolled oats (which is the traditional way) or desiccated coconut, and garnished with glacé cherries or other candied fruit before they are baked until nicely colored.

Apart from being an all-time favorite tea treat, these scrumptious, buttery biscuits are also commonly prepared for parties and are the perfect accompaniment to a glass of milk.

Savoury pattie is a traditional snack that's common in towns such as Hartlepool, Kingston upon Hull, Wirral, Liverpool, North Tyneside, Kirkwall, and Thurso. It consists of mashed potatoes that are seasoned with sage and onions, and the mixture is battered and deep-fried in hot oil.

In fish and chips shops, savoury pattie is often consumed as an inexpensive replacement for fish, when paired with chips. There are a few savoury pattie variations, with added corned beef or cheese, but they aren't as popular as the original savoury pattie. 

Scotch woodcock is a traditional savory snack or an open-faced sandwich originating from Scotland. It’s prepared with a combination of toasted bread, eggs, milk, anchovy paste, capers, parsley, and butter. The eggs, capers, parsley, and milk are whisked until blended, and the mixture is then cooked in butter over medium to low heat.

The anchovy paste is spread over toasted bread, then topped with the egg mixture and an anchovy fillet. This snack is served warm, often with a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of chopped herbs on top. Just like Welsh rarebit, the name is misleading, as there is no woodcock bird in the sandwich at all.
