The Scottish Word:

Bridie.

“Wana bridie?”
“Aye. Twa plain eens anan ingin ‘in ana. Ta.”
“Yon quine’s awa wi the last ingin yin.”

Translate:

bridie: sausage meat wrapped in a circular pastry case folded over. Can also contain herbs, pepper and other ingredients. Forfar is the place to try it.

“Do you want any bridies today?”
“Yes please. I would like two plain ones and an onion one as well. Thank you very much.”
“So sorry that girl has gone with the last onion one.”
