Back in 2000 me and 2 buddies from college here in Massachusetts toured Scotland, staying mostly in BnBs (real Bed and Breakfasts, long before AirBNB). We wanted to try haggis, but we were so scared of it. Finally, we worked up our nerve about 1/2 way through the trip, and asked our hostess in Glen Coe where we should go to try haggis for dinner that night (she had just served out breakfast). She laughed and informed us we were eating haggis right now! We had been eating haggis as part of our Scottish Breakfast almost every morning of our trip. It was great!

My family’s grandmother from Aberdeen used to make skirlie from oatmeal fried in fat, onions and seasoning. I had the impression that it was popular in Aberdeenshire. We were always taught that haggis came from wee creatures with one set of legs shorter than the other so they could run quickly on the Scottish hills especially before January 25th…

He’ll give you a nasty nip if you’re out there and don’t have any. His names Dave. I told him Dave isn’t really Scottish, but to his pals he’s Wee Davie. So that’s how he gets past that.

Our area of southwestern Ontario Canada celebrates a tart much like Ecclefechan tarts. We call them simply butter tarts and there are festivals and special events and contest for the best butter tarts. The Scots when settled in this area must have brought them from southern Scotland. Butter tarts are very much a national dessert here, sometimes made with maple syrup. Thanks for sharing this.

Whilst Shetlanders consider themselves Scandinavian, Shetland is part of Scotland. Having visited Shetland in your first video, a 45th food you could have mentioned then is reestit mutton. Mutton dried in the old days in the reests (the eaves of the house) under a peat fire. With tatties and barley makes a lovely soup. Looking forward to my next trip to Orkney and Shetland in August. Keep making these videos. Charles.

I have learned that when a liquor is being made that the heat should be low just hot enough to make the steam that sends it through the tubes. If it is heated too hot it may still taste good but will cause people to become out of control-mean or just psychos. I have learned to detect the bad from the good so when my son brought home some white lightning I wouldn’t let him drink any until I smelled it. It turns out the guy he got it from knows how to make some great dew. (Mountain dew-the original stuff).

Hi Ruth. I hope you are well. Interesting fact for you here: In regards to Mars Bars, they are made in Slough, Buckinghamshire. Adjacent to the "Mars Bars Factory" as it is more commonly known as, used to be a film studio called firstly; AP Films then later on; CENTURY 21 STUDIOS. It was there that the classic television series "THUNDERBIRDS" was made, along with others such as; "STINGRAY," "CAPTAIN SCARLET AND THE MYSTERONS," "JOE 90," "THE SECRET SERVICE" and the model effects work for "UFO." Sadly, the studios closed down in early 1971, and after changing hands many times over the decades. At one point in became a tyre company / factory, and a plastics factory. The building itself was finally demolished in 2017. The name of the road were the studios were on, is called Stirling Road.

I am an American that has traveled to Scotland many times. I am commenting on the items I have had: Tattie Scones = Scottish Nan; Cullen Skink = A smoked haddock chowder. It is the best after a day of hiking. Scottish shortbread with a glass of single malt in the evening is fantastic. Scottish Breakfast at a great B&B in Stirling, Oban, or Blairgowrie... absolutely the best! Eat the toast with the black currant jam that I have only had in the UK. The Indian Food in Glasgow and Edinburgh is the best I have had ANYWHERE. Scottish Bannocks, warm with real butter to soak up the Cullen Skink are magical. Try Brea's in Stirling for Cullen Skink or at the Sligachen Hotel on Skye. Also, Venison Tartar at Brea's is wonderful.

Butteries/Aberdeen Rolls were always termed 'Rowies' by my Aberdonian family. They were a highlight of our visits. I would describe them as a croissant that had been subjected to intense gravitational forces, followed by butter and jam!

Hi Ruth, Great video thank you! I worked in Scotland as a chef as well as many holidays and always enjoyed my time there. I worked in Portree and also Dumfries. I love everything on your list. Seafood in Scotland is the Rolls-Royce of seafood. Also the smoked salmon that is locally smoked is to die for. Thanks again, Alan

@ruthaisling 3 месяца назад

Thanks Alan. Where are you working now?

@alanbarnes3569 3 месяца назад

Thanks for your reply Ruth. I took early retirement at 55, so I no longer work in catering. I’m enjoying life in Worthing on the south coast. I’ve always enjoyed living by the sea so it was an easy decision to retire here. All my childhood holidays were spent here with my grandparents, that’s why I came back to Worthing. I’m the happiest now that I’ve ever been. No stress 😊

Thanks so much for this! I spent a good chunk of my childhood in coastal Aberdeenshire, so Cullen skink and butteries are definitely household staples for me. I can also recommend Gamrie Knotties, a ginger rock-cake/biscuity sweet topped with a thin layer of icing. They come from Gamrie in Aberdeenshire and are one of my favourite local delicacies, but sadly the bakeries selling the best knotties closed down a good few years ago. I haven’t been able to visit my Scottish family as much since COVID hit, and your videos have been a great comfort to me and a good incentive to get back up and see everyone! 💙🤍

@ruthaisling 2 месяца назад

Gamrie knotties sound wonderful! I wonder where I could get them?

@fernsfebris2164 2 месяца назад

@@ruthaisling I can recommend the towns of Banff and Macduff, 1 hour’s drive north of Aberdeen airport, as they definitely have the best bakeries for them nowadays. The area’s great for wildlife, with otters, dolphins, porpoises and sometimes orcas in the rivers and close to shore as well as mainland Scotland’s largest gannet population nearby at Troup Head. Gamrie/Gardenstown (both names for the same village), where the food’s from, have some really beautiful views, and a 1000 year old kirk nearby with history dating back to viking battles over the area!

I am Scottish but I have never eat haggis as I have a allergy to onions. Scotch egg is from England. If you go the chip shop make sure you order haddock and not cod for your fish supper. Every time I go to a chippy in Scotland they say to you do you what brown sauce salt and vinegar

Was in Scotland in 1976 (I was 13) and did enjoy various Scottish fare at the time, but yep -- now I'm *HUNGRY*!!!!! 😁😁😁

Hi Ruth, great video, I have never tried Cullen skink because the smell puts me off. Just a small correction, Tunnock caramel logs are the ones coated in coconut, caramel wafers are just chocolate coated. Don't get too much of a liking for Buckfast or your videos might be all from the corner of a street in a rough part of Glasgow 😅😅😅😅.

I have tried some of the food you mentioned when I was in the US Air Force stationed in England. I enjoyed English breakfasts(no haggis) but I couldn't eat it every day. I learned that, unlike the US, baked beans are part of a well rounded breakfast! I also got hooked on Scotch eggs, digestive biscuits, and real Scottish shortbread. Many of these dishes you mentioned sound delicious! I love fish and chips. The Edinburgh sauce sounds like an interesting alternative to vinegar.

I've had many of these foods, since my parents were from Lanarkshire. They moved to Canada after WWII as there were better job opportunities Mince and tatties was #1 on my dinner table back in the day. We often also included beans with it. Steak and Kidney pie was also a favourite. Is that not properly Scottish? Me mum made the best pies - all from scratch.

Yum, Yum! I have a question about "custard." I seems to be different everywhere you go. Here in the US custard is pale yellow, eggy, sweet, and will hold its shape when a spoonful is removed. In England it appears to be dead white and runny. I'd love to know, what is it like in Scotland?

@caw25sha 4 месяца назад

No, it's not white and runny in England, it's similar to what you described. Most people buy it ready made in a carton. I assume some people make it from scratch if they can be bothered. My aunt made it occasionally and it was nicer than ready made.

I live in Virginia in the USA Williamsburg, VA. The first Capitol of the 12 colonies. Between Jamestown VA where the USA started and Yorktown VA where we won our freedom from England. My mother’s family came from Scotland and the UK. We are descendants of and English sea Captain Grigsby who brought passengers who were friends of the King of England to Jamestown, VA. We received a land grant from the King for that service. Also my Scottish ancestors came from the Highlands around Ft Williams. I understand they left the area first left the area when the King of England was stealing the land for his friends. I think they can’t to America in the late 1800s.
