Drummock

/ˈdrʌmək/ noun

Definition

A Scottish dish made of oatmeal, fat, and other ingredients formed into a simple pudding or dumpling.

Etymology

Scottish-Gaelic origin, combining drum- (possibly from 'drum' meaning a pack or bundle) with -ock (diminutive). This folk food name has been used since medieval times in Scotland.

Kelly Says

This humble Scottish peasant food shows how people used whatever they had—oatmeal was cheap and filling, so they'd mix it with fat and boil it in a cloth, creating a stick-to-your-ribs meal that powered Highland farmers for centuries!
