What does GUNDY mean in Scrabble?
noun
Scotsdialect
A Scots word for a hand-pulled toffee flavoured with treacle and spices.
Gundy names a home-made sweet popular in Scottish kitchens, boiled from treacle or black sugar and often flavoured with ginger before being pulled and set hard. Recipes for gundy appear in older Scottish cookery collections alongside other treacle sweets such as claggum, and the word survives mainly in that domestic, regional tradition rather than in commercial confectionery. A batch of gundy was traditionally made at festive times, such as Halloween or bonfire night, when children helped pull and break the cooling toffee. Outside Scotland the word is little known, and standard English simply says toffee.
