  • About

Don’t horseshoes bring luck? And what do you need more than anything else when setting out on married life? With these thoughts in mind, Mr Jolly, an enterprising Forfar baker of the 1850s, sets about creating a pastry in the shape of a horseshoe for a wedding breakfast.

This is prime beef breeding Angus country, so he can make it with the best quality beef. He needs some suet for lubrication and onions for more flavour. All are chopped finely and used for a tasty filling. The horseshoe-shaped pastries are a great success, and soon they are essential fare at every wedding, far and wide. Jolly names his good-luck symbols – the ‘bridie’ – after the bride’s meal.
