Foreigners' Reactions To Scottish Food: Love It Or Hate It? 

I absolutely love haggis, irn bru, Scottish accent and Scottish people! Love from India 🇮🇳♥️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Love Scotland! The landscape, the people and the food. Amazing place ❤️

English born, but Bru, Oatcakes and Haggis are in my blood. Love eating all Scottish foods, and the people are great. My favourite place to visit in the world.

No Scotch pies? I steered clear of them when I first came to Scotland - they didn't look all that appetising - rather pale - but then, on a walking holiday, it was all the village shop had left to buy for lunch so I though it would be better than nothing. It turned out to be absolutely delicious. Clootie dumpling is very nice too.

I realised that people who claim something is "boring and flavourless" more often than not have destroyed their taste buds with chillies, salt and various other spices to the point of not being able to just eat meat on its own.

I visited Scotland last month with my husband (we are from czech republic), the food for us was like a rollercoaster :D some was great, some was not very good (not seasoned enough mostly). We did not tried haggis or black pudding, since we have similar type of food (but from pork inner parts) in czechia and i dont like it very much. But the cheddar cheese, the scottish eggs, fish and chips, scones with cream, the shortbreads, the toffee, the cooked breakfast -everything was really very good. The best surprice for me was a soup - Cullen skink - very delicious, i will absolutely try to cook it home to - bcs it was really tasty and actually really healthy i think :) ... We came to Scotland for the beautiful nature - and it was really breathtaking, and the people were really sweet, kind and helpfull everywhere. Always smiling and wishing you the best - in our country everybody is always frowny - so it was really great trip, and we will come back sometimes.

Mince and dough balls, rough oat cakes with smoked mackerel or salmon, potato scones, leek and tattie soup... happens we live in a fishing village on Scottish East coast, so fish and chips is pure heaven 😂 honestly, food here is wicked good

Well done. Great ambassador for Scotland. Mx

Love the food in Scotland soooo much! Hope one day we can share Taiwanese food to you🤣

Hello from a new subscriber in the US! I just watched this one video and signed up. Now I need to see what I've missed. Time for a binge!

I thought my travlin’ days were over, but after seeing this video visiting Scotland is on my bucket list! Thanks for a bangin’ video!

That was fun. Never had haggis. Never been to Scotland, although my direct ancestor was King of Scotland. Sure do want to visit.

My Great Granny used to make a great Clootie Dumpling.

Cracking video, really enjoyed it. Nice format, subscribed straight after! Looking forward to more! Maybe travel down to England with an even bigger Scottish food hamper, with some warm stuff too, perhaps a mini stand cook up some Aberdeen Angus steaks, pies, haggis, chips, combos, all sorts!

I wake up every morning with a glass of Irn Bru and a box of the ultimate breakfast that contains Lorne sausage, black pudding, haggis and tattie scones

How can you describe haggis as tasteless? I love it.

Amazing video! So much fun! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙

Brilliant video. I took my daughter to Inverness and Aviemore in the Summer and we loved it. I'm really sorry to say that the only Scottish food we had was the Turnocks chocolate wafers. Headed straight for the Italian, and Chinese, and had some amazing fish and chips in Aviemore 😂

Absolutely gobsmacked that you’re promoting Scotland and you did the biggest sin anyone could do by spelling Whisky with an E that apart an absolutely brilliant vlog well done 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Give them the short bread cookies! I can eat them everyday but they are so expensive to buy in the United States. 🙏 ❤😊

Hello John, it is my judah! Do you remember me? I went to Scotland a few years back only like 1 2 3 or Maybye 4 my mother was Christie father mark brother Asher and my 2 sisters orli and Ryleigh! I just wanted to say hello from Hawaii! We’re on vacation of summer 2024 for a few days so, yeah anyway I miss you!

Must head up and visit my Scottish cousins at some point! Go and see Mons Meg😉

THE DEEP FRIED SNICKERS BAR? OOO, the smoked salmon looks FANTASTIC!

What a super video. Thank you for sharing x

Loved being part of this! Y’all should expound upon the Wee White Hut in Glencoe. It’s too many people’s computer backgrounds in the States, but nobody knows anything of it 👌🏽

How could you forget Butterscotch, my favourite sweet. Great video. x

This is one of the reasons I am proud of being Scottish, I’m also proud of being British due to the fact we ended slavery globally also this made me get an irn bru saddened to admit it is diet huvnae got pure irn bru

I can get Irn Bru here at my local grocery called Publix in Florida USA, but yes, it is the lower sugar one with the aspartame in it. I wish I could get the 1901. I buy the Carmel wafers here all the time but now I'm excited to find out they come in dark chocolate.

Stornoway black pudding it's the best!

6:57 Scotch eggs are English not Scottish. The word 'scotch' is an old word that means 'scorch' which refers to the flash frying. They were first marketed by Fortnum & Mason in London. Come on man, you're supposed to know your Scottish history.

Looking forward to haggis from the butchers in Newton Stewart!

I’m Italian and love so much Scotland, scottish people and scottish food: haggis neeps and tatties, Cullen skink, scones… 😋

The oatcake needs a wee flattering butter.

Brilliant. I love these videos.

Nice one John, that was great 👍🏻

Great 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

At 5.09, caption says whiskey. Tut tut.

I have to inform you that 'Scotch Eggs' are not Scottish. They're English. The 'Scotch' means it was deep fried. You'll often hear of foods having been 'Scotched', particularly so from 300 or 400 years ago, up until fairly recently (though even today, it is still used), and that's all it means, it was deep fried.

wow scotch eggs are not Scottish ... amazing

Scottish food is just like Irish grub hearty and filling

Scotch Eggs are actually an English invention, hilarious watching a Scotsman ask an English person their opinion on it.

Really enjoyable to watch 😊

ITS Whisky no Whiskey

Scotch eggs are not Scotiish, they originated in Yorkshire, England.

😂😂❤ Man man out there representing the home land legend 🎉 America guy was class the reason there so similar is because Washington DC was founded by Scots on Scots owned land designed by Scots and Ruled by Scots My great Ancestor Alexander Hamilton founded and was chief engineer and 1st every treasurer of the eniter Fincial system also Co founder of the American Constitution ❤

A popular misconception that Scotch eggs are Scottish because of the name. It is actually an English dish from Yorkshire, named after William Scott the guy who sold them.

I ❤Scotland, I❤Glasgow

For any one who’s not from Scotland , I must recommend going to Glasgow of a Friday night stop by a well know place like the gorbals or even spring burn , also make sure you shout young team when leaving the local shops and get ready to enjoy you’re full on Scottish experience :)

Claim them if you dare, (and even go as far as selling them in tartan wrappers,) but Scotch Eggs are NOT a Scottish food. Possible origins are Fortnum & Mason in London & Whitby in North Yorkshire, and the only reason they are called 'Scotch' eggs is because they were originally cooked over an open flame by 'Scorching' so were originally called 'Scorch' eggs.

Scottish food is fucking delicious.

Scotch eggs are not Scottish...... They are English

Congratulations, they have all passed the test and can stay. If you do this again you should get a deep fried Mars bar, tennents super, clootie dumpling, polony and red kola

Deep fried mars/ chocolate bars was never a thing until fairly recently in Scotland...

Haggis, everyone that comes to scotland should have Haggis

The amazing larder that Scotland has and these people believe that visitors should eat square sausage and drink irn bru. 🤷🤦😭

Never had Haggis, since it's essentially illegal to sell or prepare in United States, actually process venison is illegal in the US due to The Wasting, overall unless you hunt game it's illegal to eat wild game in America, but on other side of the coin, hunters, in Missouri have more hunted game rights than in England ie if a deer from a private property is killed on a managed public land or another property, the deer is the hunters' and if a wounded deer is shot on public land and dies on private land, it's still the property of the hunter and it's his/her responsibility to harvest the game so landowners are generally obligated to allow such and hunters are in turn are supposed to offer part of the spoils but under no reason to pay a montery amount for harvesting

Wouldn't touch Tunnocks products if i was starving. Half of Scotland despise the company.

Irn Bru is whisky for bairns 😉 slainte Mhath 🥃

you should know scottish whisky has no e in it.

Loving the content John 👍🏼 when you doing a fishing video 😜

Love traditional Scottish food and drink. 80/- or 90/- Ale with a pie, a single malt with Haggis. All lovely. However 'Scotch Egg'? Not really Scottish.

Whisky & irn bru = a rusty nail.

Hang on ... they do dark chocolate Tunocks Wafers? Oh my shitting christ, I need these in my life! Oh and newsflash ... Scotch eggs don't come from Scotland, they're from England originally.

Love all of these - but Scotch Egg is actually English!

Class video 👍

I can buy irn bru in Australia.

Sadly the Scoth Egg has nothing to do with Scotland..... The egg’s origins are in fact rooted in the coastal Yorkshire town of Whitby. Named after the establishment that invented them, William J Scott & Sons are said to have invented the ‘Scotties’ - the original eggs were covered in a creamy fish paste rather than sausage meat, before being covered in breadcrumbs. The sausage meat replaced the fish when the eggs began to be sold in big food shops, as it was easier to package. Variations of the original fish-covered eggs can still be purchased on the East Yorkshire coast.

Who ever wrote the subtitles made a booboo "whiskey" is the Irish spelling it should be whisky without an "e" as this is the Scottish spelling. every day is a school day

Nice work

Scotch eggs aren't Scottish.

Scotch Eggs are not Scottish. First made in London by Fortnum and Mason and comes from Scotched which means encased in meat.

These are not all Scottish foods. Soom S are from england e.g. Black pudding scotch eg

chickern balmoral would be good , all the best scottish things thrown in a dish with chicken hmmm

Mealy puddings, lorne sausage and Arbroath Smokies

‘Whiskey’ with an ‘e’? That’s Irish and American. It’s ‘Whisky’ without an ‘e’ if it’s Scottish.

Scoth Eggs have nothing to do with Scotland.

Scotch pie, swimming in bovril hmmm

If an American who eats Bologna and Hotdogs turns their nose up at Haggis, you know you'd have a problem.

It's interesting that the Taiwanese ladies liked Irn Bru snd compared it with one of their drinks from home. In Hokkaido, Japan I had a drink called Ribbon Napolin which reminded me of Irn Bru too. I brought some home to Scotland and my friends loved it!

I really hate to say it but Scotch eggs are English. :(

me before watching this video : "Wtf is Irn Bru??" me after watching this video : "Wtf is Irn Bru??"

Choice of food in Scotland is fantastic but old style lorne, scots pie, haggis even cod and chips are very dull sometimes I'm in the mood for simple but they are not my favs by a long shot.

I want to go to Scotland now 😂

You spelt whisky wrong bro. 😂

Haggis is just a kind of sausage the only thing is the Scottish tell you what’s in their sausage 👍🏻

I'm scottish and I know scotch eggs aren't scottish

14k... Wow, it's safe to say you need to do more stuff like this... people just eat up these "react" videos... Good video, however that's not a Scotch Egg, my five year old could tell you that... you should have let people try the real thing, but I suppose you were trying to keep costs down... never the less, it's quality content so I'll hit subscribe :)

Why are they spelling whisky with an e?

"don't try this at home!, come to Scotland"

soggy underside of a steak pie....

Stovies! Nothing like it

That's a criminal offence mixing whisky and irn bru

I once done a vegan course in Edinburgh and we went to a vegan restaurant and I had Vegan haggis. It was basically a nut cutlet, it was hard as a brick. Horrible.

Scotch egg is a English dish

Haggi literally means imtestines ,

Nae Edinburgh rock?

Why not have buckfast that's a great Scottish drink

Scotch eggs are an English food. Invented in Yorkshire! 🙄🤣

Scotch egg isn't scottish , think its from London area.

Lol Scotch Eggs aren't Scottish.
