May give that a go actually, I really have the urge to have one, btw people they are not the healthiest things and suspect I may need to inject a bit in advance due to the fact they are traditionally made with lard x

Oh we seem to have some lard devotees on the site at the moment Kaylz so I'm sure somebody will know. I think I know what you mean now and they do have quite a fat content. Go on have one! I'm sure you can cover it sufficiently and you hardly need to lose weight! :D

Lard is just another form of fat, no different from butter, oil etc., so if anything you'd need to delay your bolus as carbs enter your blood more slowly when there's lots of fat.
 
I could just eat one of those Kaylz. Definitely a Scots thing though, never had anything like it anywhere else, and we can't get them here. I used to have one for my breakfast in the hotel when working at the Scottish offices (at my old company). Sort of like a slightly salty croissant bread hybrid, is the best I can describe. I'd go for about 20g of carb too, but they're very high in fat, lard and butter if I remember correctly so it might well take a while to digest. I'm practically salivating at the thought of it now 🙂

They are delicious aren't they, I'm so glad someone else knows what they are though, in case people thought I was making them up haha, if I were to have one it might be best to try with breakfast as would leave plenty time to correct during the day - what do you think x

They're lovely, my grandad used to give them to me when I was a kid, I only tried one because he was hurt that I didn't like haggis. Loved them. I think breakfast is a great time to give it a go, I tend to experiment at breakfast or lunch just to avoid nighttime hypos issues....then you can tell me how much carb you bolused for so I can steal your research when I visit the Scottish contingent in the summer, all I'll need then is some hints on bara brith dosing and I'm set for the Wales visit too 🙂 Enjoy :D

I found a recipe for them so I may just give it a go myself although will have to go looking for it again, my local scotmid has packeted ones with values per 100g so may just buy them first and weigh to find out then try it with loose one's hoping they are around the same 🙂 x
 
Don't you just hate it when you really have a fancy for something but can't find any nutrition information for it :( damn craving a buttery x

Oh god. I went to the Aberdeen area once, and was told I must try those. I felt my arteries clogging with each bite!





Was nice though.
