    Skirlies pretty easy to make but you do need grated suet to do it properly.. It doesn't really taste right other-wards.
    vegetarian suet is just, Nooo...
    Suet, fine diced onion, oatmeal (run through the food processer to chop fine-ish) Salt & Pepper.
    Sweat off onions in copius amounts of suet.. add oatmeal & fry till light golden. salt & pepper. There needs to be enough suet to moisten the oatmeal. Thats it :)

    :D Ill add you to the list LOL

    Honestly. The Pate was freaking awsome. This is the first time I got the turky liver in with the giblets.. usally its just the neck/gizards & heart. I must now find a source for turkey livers. (plus.. 1 liver made that entire dish.... )

    @runswithdogs I was looking at this thread and I hope this year you will share what you create during the Christmas season. The goodies you made looked so delicious. I keep wondering what you will make this year.
