Jean Marshall, British Columbia, Canada

"I liked the clootie so much that I woke at 5 in the morning and wrote this poem:"

Fiona’s clootie, what a beauty
This is just a dream
Lovely with a pour of custard
Or a drop of cream

Fiona’s clootie, what a beauty
Pop it in the pan
Tasty with a bit of bacon
This is livin’ man!

Fiona’s clootie, was a beauty
That’s it gone for now
Like to say a big thank you
And a great big WOW!
Joanne Marshall

"Just a note to thank you for the clootie which is now flying across to Phoenix. I know the family will love it - they have been in America for years and very much American but still love Scotland so much and the clootie will be so well received by all of them." S. Raiker

"Your Clootie was very well received at our scottish evening - we warmed it slightly and served it with hot custard. It was lovely and moist. We saved a slice for my mother and, being a Scot, she said it tasted how she remembered as a child. Mum originally came from Glasgow but she came down here to England when she was 20; she is now 85. Thank you once again." June Smith

"Your Clootie Cuties were a great success - all my friends thought they were delicious and were very impressed with the wrapping and presentation. Definitely will order more soon! Thank you." Caroline Kennedy
