Question

Why do they call a dumpling in Scotland a Collete not sure about the spelling?

Answer 1

Collete - no never heard of it. Clootie dumpling is type of steamed sweet dumpling but the word "clootie" refers to how the dumpling is made, ie in a cloth. So the word for dumpling is really just "dumpling", unless of course you speek Gaelic, then it would be "bonnach-praise"(clootie dumpling).

Answer 2

um, hey, florida, you dits! they did spell Scotland right. dont knock it if you dont know it yourself haha

Answer 3

They actually call it a clootie, and it's not even a dumpling. It's basically a dessert pudding cooked by wrapping up a dough mixture in a floured cloth and then boiling it in water. Then, the bag is dried by baking it. It's called a clootie because "clootie" refers to the strip of cloth wrapped around the pudding dough.. It's called a dumpling because the clootie wrapped around the pudding mixture looks like a dumpling

Answer 4

you didn't spell Scottland right ,  but it is probably like a tiny baby chicken
