Speedy Deletion
Well, what would render it significant?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Scottish_cuisine contains many items of equal import. I further question the speedy deletion on the grounds that it is not a real person, individual animal(s), an organization nor web content.

Deletion
"Wikipedia is not a food dictionary" is the worst reason for deletion I ever heard. It's an *encyclopedia*, this *includes* such things as items of cuisine. There are countless other items of food of similar notability and I would urge another mass-deletion spree to complement the one of biographies. I note also that
Cuisine of Trinidad and Tobago at *least* mentions the Trinidadian version and making this page has, in fact, filled in a red link. Further, it is listed in
Wikipedia:Requested_articles along with many other items that I now realise are infra dig for the glorious Wikipedia Project. I am not ignorant of the fact that the page has been created in the past -- in those events there may well have been no case, or a case poorly presented. I hope to do better. -
