Jimmy MacNab is the archetypal Scot – a cheerful, kilt-wearing, (occasional) whisky-drinking giant of a man who loves his food and a good yarn at The Creggans Hotel in Stachur (proprietors Sir Fitzroy and Lady Maclean. Some say Sir Fitzroy was the model of Fleming's James Bond). When Jimmy cooks he does so with gusto, and this old-fashioned recipe is superb for a big dinner party or a Christmas celebration.
