Scotish Traditional Food, some must try foods while you are in Scotland. Most can be found all over Scotland.
Haggis
Scotland’s most iconic national dish is made of sheep’s pluck (liver, lungs, and heart) minced with spices, salt, oatmeal, suet and onion inside a lining of the animal’s stomach. Haggis may not be the prettiest of foods, but definitely makes up for it with its flavoursome taste. It’s best tried the traditional way, alongside neeps and tatties.
A full Scottish
Typically made up of fried eggs, toast, bacon, baked beans, hash browns, sausages, black pudding, tattie scones, mushrooms and fried tomatoes. You can often find this on offer in our restaurants and cafes up and down the country.
Neeps and Tatties
‘neeps’ are turnips and ‘tatties’ are potatoes, typically served with haggis. In Scotland, neeps and tatties go together like peas and carrots.
Scottish Tablet
Scottish tablet is a tricky recipe to get right, but our culinary experts have managed to master it. This delectable confection is made all over Scotland. This medium-hard sweet can be eaten on its own, mixed in with ice cream, or as various flavours on its own, such as rum and raisin, chocolate orange, nuts, and even Irn Bru!
Battered Mars Bar
The chocolate bar is battered and placed in the deep fryer; voila; out appears a chocolaty, melted, sweet, beautiful dessert. Available from some fish and Chip shops around Scotland.
Porridge
Porridge is a staple of the Scottish diet and has been a favourite and a staple across Scotland for centuries. Nothing beats the hearty taste of good old Scottish porridge. It has been associated with Scotland throughout the years and is a healthy option. Try giving it some texture by adding walnuts or sunflower seeds.
Scotch Pie
The double crust makes for the most perfect pie taste. A Scotch pie can be served hot or cold, and has a filling of minced mutton or other meat.
Whisky
You cannot come to Scotland without buying a bottle of whiskey to take home. With more whiskeys being added every day you may be spoilt for choice. Some of Scotland’s islands are home to numerous distilleries. Elsewhere, our cities and mainland towns and villages are also home to their own home-grown blends that perfectly capture a variety of flavours and combinations
