This pair are tied at the tail, hung over wood and slowly hot-smoked (skin on). Butter and lightly warm them under the grill, heat through in butter and milk, or try them with salad. Originally, when this world-famed technique was first practised, they were smoked in up-turned barrels in the cliff-top village of Auchmichie. That's beside Arbroath, in the east coast county of Angus. Smokies now have a strict European 'Origin Apellation Controllee' system where no-one anywhere other than in the village or burgh is allowed to produce them.445g A pair of smokies .
