Each day in October has a Scots word for you to make a poem, a story, a picture, a joke, anything!
On Halloween we use 1 of the Scots words for turnip/swede (the traditional item to make a spooky lantern with).
Use the hashtag & please share!

I don't remember precisely which of my cooking relatives told me to start adding Worcestershire to tomato sauces, but I've never gone back. Just a little dash is all it really need.
On a related note, how do YOU say Worcestershire? (My family always said "Wersh-ster")
