One of the most remarkable snacks I've ever had was served on a trawler in the North Sea - a large number of butteries (pastries from the North East of Scotland which, as the name suggests, are made with a large amount of butter) layered in a deep baking tray and covered with a couple of pounds of salted butter and then baked until nice and hot.

Possibly the most delicious thing I have ever consumed NB (it was shared among the crew of 6 or so).

That sounds really delicious. But what does it have to do with heart disease risk?

Well, means my heart attack risk is lower :-)

Delicious, but Scotland for many many years had terrible coronary health stats and part of that is terrible diet.
