Edinburgh’s Wedgwood the Restaurant has teamed up with the Edinburgh Sir Walter Scott Club to create a menu inspired by the author’s books to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the birth of Sir Walter Scott, which will be served up on 6 May.
Paul Wedgwood has devised a dine-at-home menu for the occasion featuring lesser known and traditional Scottish dishes and ingredients including Lamb’s tongue & tripe and Stoved howtowdie & Drappit eggs – a chicken dish. His Andrew Service’s nettle soup was created in honour of the novel Rob Roy and the traditional Almond and strawberry trifle is a replica of Scott’s descriptions of desserts in his famous novel, The Bride of Lammermoor.

Crisp lambs’ tongue, tripe, onions, soused cucumber
