Howtowdie wi Drappit Eggs

Description

Although its name comes from the old French word hétoudeau , meaning "young capon," this is a classic Scottish dish of braised chicken. Traditionally, the bird is either stuffed or sided with skirlie , a mix of oatmeal and onions sautéed in fat, and seasoned with nutmeg, coriander, and ground black pepper. Howtowdie is typically served on a bed of kale, silverbeet, or creamed spinach, then topped with poached or drappit eggs , as the Scots call them.
