What a Tasty Festy Cock! (It’s a RECIPE!)

Whatever you do, don’t make the mistake and Google “feisty cock”. Spelling and the proper ingredients are vital to nailing this recipe.

For “The Quarantine Bunch” cast member, Ricky Pritchard, there’s nothing a big Festy Cock can’t fix. Every since he arrived to the US, he’s been sharing his Festy Cock with anyone brave enough to put something like that in their mouth. But, as Ricky says, “It’s just like me Father used to give to me Mother on Queen’s Darby Day.” Aaah, sweet and savory memories from the Emerald Isle.

In these troubled times, Ricky’s doubling down on the healing powers of his special Festy Cock. “Nothing soothes the wicked nerves quicker than a mouthful of me Festy Cock.” Heartfelt words for a stressed nation.

“The Quarantine Bunch” is so thankful to Ricky for sharing a Festy Cock that’s been passed around his family for generations. For Scots, a good Festy Cock goes a long way. Better than a cornbread battered corn dog, this will leave you wanting more.

Enough beating around the proverbial bush! All this talk of F.C. has our mouth watering. Are you ready to be blown away?

If you can’t stop blushing, take a minute. Scottish cuisine is known for it’s nutty names. Dishes like Cullen Skink, Skirlie, Rumbledthumps and Clapshot are Edinburgh favorites.

Festy Cock is like a big oatmeal pancake, but it’s so much more to former child star, Ricky Pritchard. “Growing up in Scotland, times were lean. We’d be lucky to sit down to a boiled potato and rucksack scrub jaw. All the good moments of me life came with a plate of Festy Cock. It was a way to celebrate the important times,” Ricky remembers.
