I absolutely love haggis, irn bru, Scottish accent and Scottish people! Love from India 🇮🇳♥️🏴
Back at you mate! We love Indian food in Scotland 😂
My Brother in law is from South East India he met my sister who had moved to London when she brought him up to meet the family in Edinburgh he fell in love with it and sold his house in London and moved to Edinburgh.
Indian food adored here as Micheal said
@@davidturner3127 best cuisine in the world for me mate. Me and my mate paid just shy of $200 for dinner at Gordon Ramseys place in Vegas and I've honestly had better meals at my local Indian restaurant in Greenock for less than £20
@@iaincochrane8741 Hello..from a Christian community here in South of India..absolutely love the beef stroganoff and black pudding as well❤️
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.
Love to hear it! Thanks for the comment mate. 😁
@casumarzu 😅
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.
Oh yeah can be quite surprising how tasty that wee pale pastry can be! xD
@Scotlandswild1 I read your reply in the strongest glaswegian accent ever haha... nee idea why haha😂😂
Ah yes, Water Pastry and Lamb mince with Mace (the herb). Another favourite of mine.
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.
Hey Vendula! Thanks for the message. Glad you had such a great time in Scotland! :D
you from the provy czech republic? 👍👍
Haste Ye Back
Well done. Great ambassador for Scotland. Mx
Thanks Mary 😃
Love the food in Scotland soooo much! Hope one day we can share Taiwanese food to you🤣
Ines!! Thanks for being in the video, it was a pleasure to have you there! Any time you have Taiwanese food to share, let us know :)
@@talorcmacallan4268 Stovies are one of my favourites. I'm a Highlander living in the South of Englandshire, so I don't get it often.
My Great Granny used to make a great Clootie Dumpling.
That was fun. Never had haggis. Never been to Scotland, although my direct ancestor was King of Scotland. Sure do want to visit.
You should come and check it out! You won't be disappointed :)
Which king?
Ahz the old American who is 1/10000000000th "Scotch"😂😂😂😂
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!
Haha Thanks for subscribing! Welcome :)
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
The breakfast of kings!!
Booked your funeral yet?😂😂😂
I thought my travlin’ days were over, but after seeing this video visiting Scotland is on my bucket list! Thanks for a bangin’ video!
Thanks for the comment! If you need an expert Scotland guide, consider taking a tour with us :) www.scotlandswild.com
How can you describe haggis as tasteless? I love it.
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 :)
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
It's certainly underrated!!
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!
Hey James thanks for the message! Great suggestion too :P I'd love to!
Amazing video! So much fun! 🏴💙
Thank you loads ❤️
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 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Where was it spelt as 'Whiskey'? Could it be a YT spell check? After all YT is US American and their spelling doesn't count.
Hahahaa, not sure where I put whiskey in but thanks for the comment mate!
@@JR-nv4td yes i think that’s correct although there are some American & Canadian whiskies spelt without the letter E as well 👍🏻
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.
THE DEEP FRIED SNICKERS BAR? OOO, the smoked salmon looks FANTASTIC!
Oh ayeeee
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 👌🏽
Aww that’s a great idea! We’ll make that happen!
The bothy ye mean
The oatcake needs a wee flattering butter.
Indeed it does..
And a sprinkling of sugar to make a 'starry piece' :)
How could you forget Butterscotch, my favourite sweet. Great video. x
Butterscotch originated in Yorkshire.
Great 🏴
Thanks for the comment :)
At 5.09, caption says whiskey. Tut tut.
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.
'Scotch' just means to deep fry. It's not attached to a name.
William Scott's late 19th century version had no pork or breadcrumbs and the egg was covered in fish paste, hardly a comparison. Rumours of Scotch Eggs go back to London in 1738. Anyhow a pork scotch egg recipe was recorded 1809 in Englishwoman Maria Rundell's cookbook, although this version also did not have breadcrumbs just pork. To scotch a meat or ingredient is a cooking method, nothing to do with Scotland.
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.
Translated so Scottish people can also understand:
i hae tae clype ye that 'scotch eggs' ur nae scots. They're sassenach. Th' 'scotch' means 'twas deep fried. Ye'll often hear o' foods huvin bin 'scotched', particularly sae fae 300 or 400 years ago, up 'til fairly recently (though even th'day, it's aye used), 'n' that's a' it means, 'twas deep fried.
@@SmokingLaddy 'Clype' means to tell on someone, to grass them up. If you told the Police that a certain person had broken into a car, you'd be clyping. 'Clype' does not mean to inform someone of something. 'Ur nae'? The Scots is 'arena'(pronounced are-na or are-nae).
'Sassenach' merely means Southerner, so someone in Lothian, or Dumfries for example is technically a 'Sassenach'. It does not mean English.
'Huvin' Isn't Scots. The word you're looking for is 'haein'. 'Bin' means a receptacle for rubbish, 'been' is 'been' or 'buin'. 'Aye' in this sense means always. To use Scots you'd more likely say 'yet', so "It's yet used"(meaning still used), "th'day' is simply "the day', "n" (as in 'and') isn't Scots, it's still 'and'. "Twas", not Scots, it would very simply be "it wis".
It's better if you don't try to use a language you're clearly alien to, rather than making so many clear and obvious errors.
@@scottw.3258 we say huvin or huvnae
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 😂
Ah well at least you had some fish and chips!
What a super video. Thank you for sharing x
And thanks for your comment! :)
@@Scotlandswild1 you're very welcome sweet x
Looking forward to haggis from the butchers in Newton Stewart!
ITS Whisky no Whiskey
fair play to you, auto generated captions are sneaky wee things
Brilliant. I love these videos.
Awesome to hear! We’ll make sure there’s many more for you!
Anything you’d want us to make a video on?
Must head up and visit my Scottish cousins at some point! Go and see Mons Meg😉
Really enjoyable to watch 😊
Thank you 😁
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
Hahaha, thanks for the comment mate!
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.
Amazing! It's great to hear it's made it all the way to Florida!! Dark Chocolate wafers are the best :)
The 1901 is the best, but I still think it doesn't have enough of the old iron tang the stuff I grew up with had, might be just my old rose tinted glasses though (or decrepit taste buds, I dunno)
@@Scotlandswild1 I found the Dark Chocolate wafers at World Market. They are my new favorite!!!!
Give them the short bread cookies! I can eat them everyday but they are so expensive to buy in the United States. 🙏 ❤😊
Aw mate I can't stop when I start
Loving the content John 👍🏼 when you doing a fishing video 😜
Eventually we'll get around to it! Thanks for the comment 😁
You still doing a bit or you busy with the family & working all the time? I still get out as often as I can (not often enough though 🤣)
Scotch Eggs are actually an English invention, hilarious watching a Scotsman ask an English person their opinion on it.
I think the whole thing is a bit hilarious tbh
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.
Whisky & irn bru = a rusty nail.
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
Class video 👍
Thanks for the comment! :)
Deep fried mars/ chocolate bars was never a thing until fairly recently in Scotland...
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
Haggis is made of lamb....
It absolutely is NOT illegal in the US, you can make it and sell it, but you can't use the lights (lungs), as the FDA doesn't approve of lung as food. There's a fellow about 130 mi. from my home that makes and sells it, I have two packages of his haggis in my freezer as I type. Macsween's makes and sells canned haggis here, prepared seperately so it's US legal.
In Scotland one has the right to roam, that means one can go through or camp overnight on private property naturally one does not walk through a ploughed field with crops growing.
Irn Bru is whisky for bairns 😉 slainte Mhath 🥃
Nice work
I want to go to Scotland now 😂
you should know scottish whisky has no e in it.
Could you hear the e when he said it?
@@Scotlandswild1 The subtitles all use the spelling "whiskey" which is the Irish or Kentucky version. Scotch whisky never is spelled with an "e"!
Scotch Eggs are not Scottish. First made in London by Fortnum and Mason and comes from Scotched which means encased in meat.
Scottish food is just like Irish grub hearty and filling
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.
True that
Scotch eggs are English.
Love all of these - but Scotch Egg is actually English!
Hahaha fair enough! Thanks for the comment :)
LOL@Scots trying ti meke out that the Scotch Egg is their invention when It was made by Fortnum & Mason, a London department store in 1738. Its not called ''Scotch Egg'' because its made by Scots but because Scotched is relating to the colour.
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.
Whiskey with iron bru 👍
‘Whiskey’ with an ‘e’? That’s Irish and American. It’s ‘Whisky’ without an ‘e’ if it’s Scottish.
I’m Italian and love so much Scotland, scottish people and scottish food: haggis neeps and tatties, Cullen skink, scones… 😋
And we love Italian food!! xD
I can buy irn bru in Australia.
Awesome! So lucky xD
Amazing, how lucky you are!
😂😂❤ 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 ❤
White pudding is Ace wherever it comes from
The amazing larder that Scotland has and these people believe that visitors should eat square sausage and drink irn bru. 🤷🤦😭
Haggis, everyone that comes to scotland should have Haggis
Oh AYE they should!
Agreed nuttin beats a haggis role same with black pudding also america should also quit calling black putting blood pudding it may be accurate in having blood in it but it’s not right
These are not all Scottish foods. Soom S are from england e.g. Black pudding scotch eg
fair play
Scottish Black Pudding is very different from English Black Pudding. It's much finer - more like Spanish Morcilla. And as an Englishman I can say I much prefer it to the chunks of fat in the English variety
chickern balmoral would be good , all the best scottish things thrown in a dish with chicken hmmm
Oh my you are so right
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!
We love sugary, highly caffeinated things :P
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.
I ❤Scotland, I❤Glasgow
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.
Always learning, I suppose. Thanks for the comment!
Thats only one origin theory. Some say they originate in Yorkshire. Either way, definitley English!
Scotch pie, swimming in bovril hmmm
mmmmmmmm
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.
Hah, yeah well we're not known for our cuisine!
@@Scotlandswild1 I'm not trashing Scotland at least we have options like Curry, Chinese or Pizza and Kebabs etc etc there is a vegan place too but no one ever goes there.
@@fasteddie406 🤣🤣🤣
Scotch eggs are not Scottish...... They are English
Aye too true
Haggis is just a kind of sausage the only thing is the Scottish tell you what’s in their sausage 👍🏻
hahaha true that
Scottish food is fucking delicious.
Thanks for the comment! And Appreciation :P
wow scotch eggs are not Scottish ... amazing
neither is haggis tbf
Mealy puddings, lorne sausage and Arbroath Smokies
Well spoken
Another vote for Mealy puddings and Smokies.
Stovies! Nothing like it
Orkney Cheddar? Cheddar is from Cheddar not Scotland.
😅
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.
That's a criminal offence mixing whisky and irn bru
He did get hauled away afterwards
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
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 :)
Scotch eggs are an English food. Invented in Yorkshire! 🙄🤣
The Yorkshire version was covered in fish paste NOT pork and breadcrumbs.
Scotch egg isn't scottish , think its from London area.
Scotch egg is a English dish
Haggi literally means imtestines ,
My American wife just had some tonight. For context, she gets me to cut chicken up as she can't do it, it is "gross." She tried haggis tonight made in shop at the butcher, went back for a second helping. Scottish food is shit, Haggis is the exception.
"don't try this at home!, come to Scotland"
me before watching this video : "Wtf is Irn Bru??"
me after watching this video : "Wtf is Irn Bru??"
xD it'll remain a mystery too
You spelt whisky wrong bro. 😂
If an American who eats Bologna and Hotdogs turns their nose up at Haggis, you know you'd have a problem.
Scotch eggs aren't Scottish.
Yep, you are right
