Velociraptor 27 Aug 10:48am, 27 Aug 2024 70,624 posts	0 Velociraptor Sue Lawrence has a chapter in Scots Cooking called "Shivery bites and sweeties" in which she describes shivery bites as the thing she have to eat to fortify herself for going outside into the icy blast coming off the River Tay after a trip to Dundee Swimming Baths. So not just a West of Scotland thing, but now more likely to be a packet of crisps from the vending machine than a home baked Abernethy biscuit. After trips to the swimming pool with my dad we'd swing by the Bonnyton Café for a bag of chips, and after trips to the swimming pool with school anyone caught eating between getting out of the pool and the next mealtime/playtime would have got the belt.
