That's a delightful post! I'm with Heidi and Kay - love looking at people's pottery and glassware. I have a large salad bowl and some tumblers that match your wine pitcher/decanter. The meals all look delicious, too. 

 

The term "pork scotch" threw me for a loop. It looks like what we Yanks would call medallions. Is that right? Are they cut from the loin?

 

Scotch in this context just means "cut". Not very helpful.

it's the same meaning as "to scotch a rumor", i.e. refute it (cut it).

"Medallion" isn't American. It's French and used most places.
