Skirlie is a Scottish dish, made from oatmeal fried with fat, onions[1] and seasonings. The "skirl" indicates the noise made by the frying ingredients.[1] Similar to white pudding, which has similar ingredients but is boiled in a tripe skin,[1] it is served as a side-dish with potatoes,[1] or used as a stuffing for chicken or other fowl. It is also a common side dish to accompany mince and tatties or Christmas dinner, especially in the northeast of Scotland.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Suet,[1] lard, beef dripping or butter are used. The addition of salt at the cooking stage is crucial, but a bit less than used to be added as salt is to be found in so many other foods.
