Note for Lookyloos: While I hoped for Scottish Independence, in recognition of the result, I'm working on sorting out the various partial lists (some solo articles, some not) of regional food in the British Isles. Aiming for a food history list of UK dishes, that have their own articles, that have a sourced place (and hopefully date) or origin eg. Town/City/County. NOT a list of food that is typically eaten in a given area (those lists, in various forms, seem to exist). I'll probably start on England first as it has a general food list and it will let me see if this kind of list is worth bothering with (its also likely to be a more topical private list to do general gnoming/source adding in articles and creating new ones in Food Sandbox.
