"Forfar, the county town of Angus, is the home of Scotland’s answer to the Cornish pasty: the famous Forfar bridie, a shortcrust pastry turnover filled with minced beef, onion and gravy. If you fancy trying one, head for James McLaren & Son, a family bakery bang in the centre of Forfar, which has been selling tasty, home-baked bridies since 1893."
"The real thing can only be found in Forfar and some (including myself) would go even further to state that the 'real' real thing can only be found in this particular bakers, McLarens."
"Today you can enjoy it as a take away snack from the family bakery - McLaren & Sons, who have been making this delicious beef, onion and seasoned snack since 1893."
"McLaren’s are renowned for the famous Forfar Bridie, which are made by the onsite bakers daily!"
