Perhaps you're thinking: “forfar bridies? It must be a mistake, probably they wanted to say for far that means para ahora , and the word bridies must be a mistake too, it would be brides that means novias in spanish. I have to say that I´m not mistaken.
A Forfar Bridie is a horseshoe-shaped meat product. It has a shortcrust cover and the filling consists of beef, onions and seasoning.
They originated in the early part of the 19th century. One story of their origin is that they were made for wedding meals (the Brides' meal) hence the horseshoe shape (for luck).
Another story is that the Forfar Bridie have first been created by a woman called a by Margaret Bridie from Glamis, who was a travelling food seller. She arrived to Forfar and sold them at the Buttermarket.
It was there where this pie was a sensation to its inhabitants and became famous in all the United Kingdom and then in the entire world.
Forfar is a small town in the county of Angus, which is easy to get to from the Kingdom as it's not too far over the Tay Bridge . The Author of "Peter Pan", J.M. Barrie, came from Kirriemuir, which is very near Forfar. Perhaps it was him who helped give the Forfar Bridie its world-wide fame by mentioning it in "Sentimental Tommy".
