Fortune-teller’s Crowdie
Food and Drink

Fortune-teller’s Crowdie is a very similar dish to Apple Crowdie (see above), except that it is made from oatmeal rather than apples. However the token ritual remains identical.

1. Add two tablespoons of lightly toasted oatmeal to a dish of whipped cream. (There must be sufficient cream to hide the charms.)

2. Stir in sugar to taste.

3. If desired, add a tablespoon of whiskey, rum or other spirits, stir and chill.

4. Just prior to serving, add tokens. Participants take spoonfuls from the common dish until all the tokens have been claimed.
