Home made cheese scones & local artisan goodies

Monday, October 16, 2017

I made these delicious savoury scones for lunch after an Autumn walk to CS Lewis Square in Belfast with friends and fellow bloggers, Lindsey and Kellie.  The lunch featured some wonderful, delicious local Northern Irish produce and my own scones with a twist!


On our outing to CS Lewis Square, Lindsey (Lindslikedthat) , Kellie (LittleBurch22)  and I decided to try the new Connswater Greenway.  Unfortunately, part of the walkway was blocked off so we ended up doing a major tour of East Belfast instead of the short walk to the square.  There was plenty of chat so we didn’t really feel any pain but we were delighted when we finally made it to our destination.  We let out a collective gasp of delight when we saw the magnificent figure of Aslan the lion standing proudly overlooking the square.

After our walk, we were more than ready for lunch.  My home made scones with a twist (recipe below) were savoury and instead of jam and cream, they were topped with Dale Farm Creme Fraiche and Made with Love XO aubergine chutney to look like the really thing.  Tayto crisps to dip into Tom and Ollie hummus with chilli, garlic and basil and some sun ripened dried cherries and bananas from Forest Feast.  All pretty lovely and we tucked in with glee.  

You can find the CS Lewis Square at 402 Newtownards Rd, Belfast BT4 1HF
