HalfeeMagnificent! I'm rather excited about all this Scotch Eggery.
PJM - are you seriously saying that traditional British food has little in the way of herbs and spices?
If you look at Elizabethan cookbooks etc you'll see herbs particularly in almost every savoury dish, and spices were relied on to a large extent, due to frequently dodgy meat, I suspect. The importance of spices (from the East) in Western cooking - and the associated need to protect the trade routes - have indirectly had a large impact on the modern world.
