So good to see a video made by Americans who can pronounce Scottish place names. Your appreciation and descriptions of the dishes was excellent too.
Like "Edin boro" you mean?
@@BN1960 🤣
Scowned
My Scottish grandmother used to make that Sticky Toffee Pudding, but she made it with raisins. It was so good and I miss having it.
Yes, Stovies - an absolute Scottish classic.
Hello from my current abode in Australia. I am formerly from Drumnadrochit in Scotland, which I still miss terribly. My father had a saying: *You can take the boy out of Scotland, but you will never take Scotland out of the boy!* I was delighted that you enjoyed our cuisines. As a matter of fact; it will be *HOGMANAY* (New Years Day) in two ays time. The family is having a *ceilidh* at home on 31 December and no doubt we will have a Wee Dram to 20, and have the Haggis Piped in. Thank you for visiting my beautiful country. I amdetermined that when I go to that great Highlands in the sky; they will bury my bones at home, in my beloved Highlands. *Slàinte Mhath!*
Hogmanay is New Year's Eve, not New Year's day.
@@robrenwick4591 MY MISTAKE. I WAS IN A HURRY
Did you try "stovies" when you were in Scotland ? It's another national dish made with beef or chicken stock, onions, potatoes and corned beef sometimes added. It's served with oatcakes on the side. It's just delicious and great if you're actively hiking. A porridge breakfast and stovie lunch and you are good all day long.
Next time you go, you must try Cranachan.Raspberries,oats,whisky,honey and whipped cream.You`ll love it.Great video by the way.
Great suggestion!
Ditto for Cranachan
Ya
There's an ice-cream shop on Skye that serves cranachan ice-cream....
OH DAT SOUND GOOOOOOOOD
That cooked Scottish breakfast looked like a wee lassies dolls breakfast.
Agreed - it all looks a bit 'nouvelle cuisine' to me... My experiences are nothing like this! Scottish food is supposed to be a bit wild IMHO! :)
No kidding. Americans!
A couldn’t believe it either ma ma breckie was always the best 2 of everything 😂
Love from Kazakhstan fans ❤❤❤🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿
Lorne or square sausage should be on this list
With butter, on a Scottish morning roll with HP Sauce. ' Was brought up on it.
You will have to try 'Scotch Eggs'. They are delicious. Great for lunches.
I discovered these gems years ago in Kearny, New Jersey at the now defunct Argyle Restaurant.
I'd never seen Scotch Eggs until I was 17 and went to England. We don't eat them in Scotland.
@@robrenwick4591 Fact. That's because there's hee haw Scottish aboot them! Invented by Fortnam & Mason in 1738 for their picnic hampers.
Glad you enjoyed the trip to Scotland, we hope to see you again soon. Great vlogs thank you!
Mark appreciate it!
Really good video! Glad to see Scottish sea food well represented - it’s excellent. Cullen skink is a favourite of mine, but I’d recommend any soup-of-the-day that’s available, they’re usually really good and reasonably priced.
Thank you Frank, we loved Scotland!
Good choices on the whole. Shows we don't eat very healthily here but it tastes good. Afternoon teas are more in England especially Devon Cream Teas. I like them though occasionally. 😊
Cranachan should have been on here, Tunnocks, Thistly Cross, Steak and kidney Pie, Scottish Tablet., Clotted Cream fudge.
Clotted cream fudge, oh my!
I eat gluten free, ie no flour, bread, cakes, cookies, etc. Do you know if restaurants are mindful of gluten free cooking in Scotland? I’m going to Edinburgh, highlands, Isle of Sky, and Isle of Iona. You seem to the food well.
@@carolhunt2023 I don’t expect to eat anything healthy when I’m abroad or traveling, my best guess is to ask them for their options. I’m assuming some places will have vegetarian or vegan options if asked. Been to Skye, Oban , Inverness, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Pitlochry, Loch Ness, etc.
I have to be gluten free. Autoimmune disease. But I don’t have to be fudge free!
Thank you for responding to my comment. Perhaps others will comment too.
Spicy haggis supper - oooh aye can eat that all day
Stovies....we mainly have that in Winter time as it's a heavy meal but it keeps you going.
Please try mince and tatties 🥔 and steak pie peas and potatoes. Utterly delicious 😋 food!
Traditional Haggis isn't illegal in the USA. There is a ban on importing it, but there is still plenty made here as well.
It's available on Amazon
No lungs in American haggis. Lungs as food is forbidden here here for some reason.
@@user-rx6ze5uu7n it's because of TB apparently despite the fact that the lung is cooked over and over reducing the risk of TB to an absolute miracle level it's still a risk.
Loved the vid you might like to try Scottish sweets, wonderful. Tablet, macaroons (lees are best)! Snowballs again Lees are fab, Edinbrgh Rock, Bon Bons. Oh and try Pinapple Tarts, very Scottish and amazing.
I live in England now and my great uncle Harrys Tablet is a life saver, love making it.
Oh our Ice Cream is wonderful, loads of Italians moved to Scotland after the wars and for me Mussebrugh has fantastic ice cream shops. The best is Perries in Kilmacolm, west of Glasgow they put condensed milk in it, mind blowing.
Tutti Frutti Ice Cream
I would recommend to taste it next time: Shortbread, leek and tattie soup, oatcakes, freshly baked rolls with fried runny eggs 😋 I stopped eating meat after I had my best local steak and lamb lasagna, since then I’m vegan but definitely worth a try (all traditional Scottish meals are superb if it freshly made 😊)🏴❤️
Vegan 🤣
Oh, you have to try Clootie Dumpling with custard…
Oh yeah, a great hit, mostly made for birthdays, with tanners (sixpenny coins) wrapped in silver paper in it when I was a kid in Scotland.
You need to try Lorne Sausage and Tunnock's Teacakes. Also, venison, or venison burgers.
We will add it to our list for next time! Thank you!
Venison? Only for the rich...
amazing quality
Arbroath Smokies are worth a side trip to Arbroath.
Arbroath smokies is a must try on your next trip. Just watch out for the bones.
Or Finnan Haddies
I’m so excited to find all this in Edinburgh
It’s a great town!
A great, expensive, tourist town...
Chicken breast stuffed with cooked haggis and wrapped in smokey bacon. Air fry or oven cook. Serve with whisky sauce (mustard sauce made with some whisky in place of milk).
You guys didn't travel budget by any means, did you? Happy to hear how much you guys enjoyed our wee country. 🏴
2:38 Pronounced SKON everywhere except in Scone where they're pronounced SKOON. Traditionally, the Kings of Scotland were crowned while seated on the STOON of SKONE.
They’re English not Scottish
Pronounced scawns (like pawns) in Scotland, and scowns (like cones) in England. The stone of scone (scoon) is a different pronunciation in Scotland.
I just made some homemade scone yesterday, 25 minutes including cooking, happy to pop over the way i make them, , scones, less is more making them lol
Rumbledethumps,
Deep fried pizza,
Steak pie,
Scotch pie,
Bridie,
Grants A&B Roll,
Selkirk Bannock,
Ayrshire bacon,
Scotch broth,
Beef stew and dumplings,
Lamb and mutton,
Cheese,
I love fish and chips😊
They are tasty!
As a recently retired 1:53 American soldier an Irish girl from cork city. Oh Hell Yes. Irish breakfast Scottish dam good.
You mentioned the royal yacht,, my grandfather worked on the construction of that vessel in Clydebank
Next time, you need to try stovies 😁
Will do!
Just back from a wee camping trip to Skye. The pizza from Portree's 'Pizza In The Skye' is the best I have ever tasted - truly exceptional. I'd just add, when in my home town of Edinburgh you must explore the gin scene. There are some fantastic small distilleries here. Some of the best are in my own neighbourhood of Leith.
But it's not Scottish...
we're gearing up for our next trip to scotland. I'm handicapped by a near total revulsion to seafood. and because of that, I think scones are the only thing we didn't make it to trying out of your list.
we missed out on a trip 2 years ago, and I had a list of things to try - but now I have to find it again.
I lived in Scotland for Four years during my studies. Coulin skink soup was my favourite.
Hi Madalyn and adam, yeah there are great scottish farms in scotland for salmong, but the also the norway does great farmed salmon,
watching your videos, i see you like the smoked salmon, I was a manager of a wholesale fish market in london, for 10 years, so i know my fish seafood and you did have the best. We had a tour one time, from a smoked salmon producer, was really great experience.
Farmed fish is rubbish. Wild caught is the way to go.
Sgadan and Marag-gheal are also ones to try. It's interesting that haggis would be illegal to sell in the US, considering that Cajun Boudin is very similar.
Loved the video, and now I'm hungry, thank you very much! 😂🤣😋
God knows what Sgadan and Marag-gheal are, and I'm Scottish, born and raised !!?
@@robrenwick4591 salted Gannett and white sausage. My grandmother used to make it when we'd visit her.
They don't sell Scottish haggis in the USA because of mad cow disease. They won't even accept blood donations in the USA from Brits who lived through the mad cow disease period. Haggis is sold in the USA, but it's made in the USA and doesn't include some of the offal that they put in Scottish made haggis.
OMG, you‘ve made me soooo hungry with this video!!!!!😋
(I‘ll skip the Ironbrew!)😜
It's 'Irn Bru', and I'm sorry but you can't skip it as it's mandatory ;-)
And it's pronounced iron brew. Not nearly as good as it used to be when it was sold in the returnable glass bottles
Scottish eggs: Hard boiled egg encased in sausage meat, batter dipped, deep fried, and soaked in malt sauce.
We actually didn't get any when we were in Scotland! We had some when we visited England several years ago. So good!
As a Scotsman, the first time I had ever seen or tasted Scotch Eggs, was when i was 17, from a NAAFI van near Farnborough, Hampshire, England. Scotch Eggs are *not* Scottish, contrary to popular belief.
Dipped in bread crumbs and fried, not battered. Sauces, if any, vary.
I haven't been to Scotland in 50 years, but I've had them many times at The Argyll in North Arlington, New Jersey. (Sadly, it was a casualty of thye Covid lockdown.) It was located just down the road from the Sopranos butcher shop (sadly, also gone.)@@robrenwick4591
God knows what "malt sauce" is !?
I recommend Loch Fyne kippers, and cranachan (but not mixed together).
I love Irn Bru. I always have a few bottles in the house.
It's not nearly as good as it was in the glass bottles back in the 1960s and 70s.
😋 😋
Scotland has some of the best fish, lamb (heather grazed and superior to New Zealand ), and smoked salmon in the world.......dont miss it. Sticky toffee pudding keeps me coming back to Scotland.
New Zealand lamb is all Halal i.e. the animal is slaughtered by having its throat cut with no pre-stunning, while a Moslem prayer is read over it as it bleeds to death. Barbaric.
Fish and chips and scones. That’s about it for me!
We could eat scones every day!
To be fair, Bahlsen cookies are imported from Germany. Thanks for sharing, all the same. At least they still taste good in Scotland!
I am not sure that Sticky Toffee Pudding is an ancient dish. It is absolutely delicious, and does seem to have been popularised in the UK, but I do not recall seeing it anywhere before the 1970s.
Stovies , Macaroni Pies , Scotch Broth , Butteries . 😊😋
Isn't Cockaleekie soup ne of those 'must try' foods?
Great video but you forgot their savoury pies. They’re the best pub food.
Yes, (Scots) Pies, Bridies and Sausage Rolls.
Steak Pie is always brilliant.
When I visited Scotland, I ate some delicious Lamb Stew with homemade bread that was A+. Another place, the Haggis & Tatters (sweet potatoes) were very good. Don’t be afraid to eat them. Plus, best fresh Salmon with rosemary sauce.
It's Haggis, Neeps (boiled, mashed turnip in Scotland, rutabaga in the USA) and tatties (mashed potatoes, not sweet potatoes).
@@robrenwick4591 I ate at place in Scotland where there chopped sweet potatoes with it.
@@robrenwick4591 I ate chopped always mashed sweet potatoes as tatters at a large entertainment place in Scotland. It wasn’t mashed potatoes I ate.
Great video! Did you have to make reservations for most of these places you went?
Great question. I think most were walk-ins except Isle of Skye, where we legit only ate dinner and breakfast at the hotel and then a bag of chips and cake for lunch because Portree was so packed
@@AdamandMadalyn thank you thats so helpful!
Im from Scotland but only been home 3 times in the last 12 years, but im going back for a week holiday this month and I cant wait im going to make a point of eating everything on this video. But you forgot Scotch pie, Morning rolls, Venison,
Haggis itself isn't illegal in the US, but lungs are "unfit for human consumption." I've had Haggis in Scotland and in the US, where it was made with kidneys instead of lungs. It was weird, because the kidney flavor dominated. In my home town, the Polish Americans had a dish called Kishka. It was made with chicken . . . ingredients. There's a polka, popular at weddings, called "Who Stole my Kishka?" You really liked Black Pudding so much that it's worth stealing!
New subscriber here.
The food choices looked delicious.
I am planning a trip to Edinburgh, Scotland.
Thanks for the heads up.
Edinburgh is a fantastic city! We absolutely loved it! Have a great trip!
Ooooft! Looks like you got ripped on your langoustines! 😳 As for the beverages, although from Devon, England, Buckfast is highly recommended. 🤪😂👍🏻
True haggis is not legal in the U.S. because it's believed that eating it will cause turberkulousis( sorry bad spelling. Nobody has ever gotten TB in Scotland. I've had canned haggis with eggs. It's really good. I love scallops. They are my favorite sea food.
The "full Scottish Breakfast" appears to be identical to the "full Irish Breakfast" we had when visiting there, and which also appears to match the "full English Breakfast". I guess it's common throughout the British Isles.
They do all have the same basic components but the sausages differ and the Scottish breakfast adds haggis.
@@AdamandMadalyn - true. Plus, the Scottish breakfast is just better ;-)
No they are all totally different
@@AdamandMadalynand tattie scones :)
Didn't see clutie dumpling or lorn sausage. So not a Scottish breakfast by far
As a Scotsman, I loved this. So good to see other nationalities enjoy our food/drink x
Except that it's not Scottish 🤣
Scotch eggs, Huggies and Whisky ❤❤❤
Huggies? They're nappies aka diapers 🤣
Great video. Just a few points from a Scot here. It was a prawn and not a languistine. Also, eggs benedict is from new york not scotland 😊 finally, the scottish breakfast looked a bit spare. It should be a bit bigger. Finally, its just "whisky" not "scotch" in Scotland. Otherwise, nice job.
*IF YOU LOVE THE FOOD IN SCOTLAND CHECK LIKE*
Check like!
Stupid post
It would be nice if detail of the restaurant in the clip is included
Great suggestion, we'll look into it in the future. If you want to know where we ate something just ask us here!
Best fish & chips I had was in Portree
Thank you for sharing
Next time you need to try Cranachan
Alrighty!
YUM, YUM, YUM 😋
Try "SCOTCH PIES"
and perhaps "SCOTCH EGGS"
I think you've done really well! Your descriptions are FABULOUS!!
🎉
Except that Scotch Eggs aren't Scottish.
its jam then cream heaped on top
You briefly mention blood pudding, but not if you tried it or how it was. Did you try it, and is it something you'd recommend?
Yes it usually comes with a Scottish Breakfast and it wasn't our favorite. Very salty and earthy.
She said Black Pudding not blood pudding .butchers all over Scotland make their own version of Black Pudding and Haggis so there are slight differences to the basic recipe .
Most countries in Europe have their own version of black pudding or blood sausage as it is known
Black pudding is good for folk that need a little extra iron in their diet.
scones is pronounced 'Scons' the E at the end is a spelling exception
American with Scottish ancestry here.
I'm still upset I can't try haggis cus the gov't won't allow people to sell lungs as an offal due to some tuberculosis scare in the past.
Did you rent a car? How did you get around, thanks
Should have tried a munchy box and bottle of buckfast.
Buckfast Tonic Wine (or Buckie), although it has the reputation of being an alcoholic's drink, is actually very nice, and is essentially Port Wine.
I was just there in July. Where the hell is Greggs at?
Beefy Bakes 😊
What no deep fried Mars bar? Ice cream fritters? Chip Buttie? How can you not come across chip buttie in Scotland?
Deep Fried Mars Bars are for the Tourists. The Scots rarely eat them.
Chip Buttie is English
✌🌷🌷🌷🌷
Watching this makes me ponder how much salmon was in my ancestral diet and makes me wonder if I need to consider forking out the ludicrous $$$ salmon price tag...
Square sausage and Scotch pies please.
And Bridies.
Oh God, aye, cannae get them anywhere in Glasgow any more.
God no. The two worst.
Haggis is not illegal in the US, as you say. Haggis can be/is imported to the US as long as it is not made with suet, a type of lard. Also, if you attend Scottish festivals &/or Burns Night dinners, there is Haggis served, more than likely prepared locally. The American Haggis has no comparison to the Real Scottish Haggis. Sláinte Mhath🏴
Haggis is illegal to import and has been since 1971, it has nothing to do with suet but the fact it's made from sheep lungs
The title of this video is misleading, as many of these foods aren't actually Scottish in origin (eg, Eggs Benedict was invented in NYC, ie, traditionally American). Cullen skink, haggis with neeps and tatties, and Scotch whisky, sure, but what about oatcakes?
You mean pizza and risotto aren't Scottish?
If you were visiting our hometown of Chicago we’d recommend you try deep dish pizza. Chicago is far from Italy. In Skye, Glencoe, Islay and Glasgow we found great little pizza spots to eat at or take to go. We saw seafood risotto on numerous menus especially near the coasts. This isn’t a list of foods that originated in Scotland. It’s a list of foods one visiting Scotland should consider trying.
Need mince a long with it' 👍🏼😃
First pic of breakfast looks like poached not fried egg
Miss me with those haggis ⛔️
The first cookies were a German brand 🫣😂
Where is the place for scallops😢!!!
Call that a scottish breakfast? Seen more meat on a butchers apron😢!
... On a Butcher's Pencil is the correct saying.
Vegetarian Haggis ? So it aint really Haggis then is it
hmm...wondering about lamb of any sort?
The best Indian restaurants in the whole of the UK are in Glasgow
Which ones?
@@hannahetienne7962 Mr Singhs
Indian food, whilst popular, is most certainly NOT Scottish food. It has been introduced by the invaders.
@@robrenwick4591 Nice little racist comment at the end there,are you possibly a BAWBAG
Definitely.
i have a couple things, one will make you smile, the other will make you think what the hell.
Im from the northeast of england, im 58 now, so im going back in the day of the 80's. when we were teens, the first drink, as a teen in pub
in them days, usualy about 16 years old, there was no ID checks, if you looked old enough, thats why you see so many teens in the 80s with moustache, make us look older lol, but the first drink was snake bite, it was half lager and half cider, in pint glass, you get a cloudy look and a funny head, but misxing made it strong, the reason i said it was funny, scotland with its beers and whiskey, they would not serve snake bite in scotland, it was deemed to be to strong, we had to con the bar staff, buy pint of lager for me, pint cider for the wife, ask for half glass, as ladies then did not drink out of a pint glass, then order half coke, throw the coke, now we have to empty half glasses, mix under that table, this is true.
Snake bite brings back a lot of memories. Purple nasty was another common student one.
"Let us know" in Scotland, might be "Lettuce, no" (or "nay').
The black pudding, as you had for your breakfast is a staple in the northeast breakfast
but it also had another place, sunday in the north east, was big day for going out drinking, workmans clubs, pubs and the likes
as it ws a big day, the bar owners or club owners user to put plates up on the bar or trays, which contained, mini cheddrs, cubes of cheese, pickled onions and black pudding, which had not been fried, the slice you had was fried, we eat it as is, i still do to this day. i eat fied, and sometimes
at home watching football, put plate up, black pudding, onions, mini cheddars or crisps, few cans of beer
it is a northe east thing, i have live in london and on the south coast, and you cant buy it.
Putting snacks on the bar is a London thing, not a Scottish thing.
@@robrenwick4591 Lived in london 10 years, never seen jellied eels on a bar to expensive, each peice being about 80p each, never going to happen, also, i never mentioned sctoland, i said northeast, what i was talkin about was in the workmans, clubs, you do really have them down south, one or two, These were afforded, because they were not ru by a brewery, these were run by the members, with all profits going back into the club, long story about that, do some research first
I go back a lot farther than you do kiddo, and yes, it was common to see jellied eels on the bar on Sundays in London and the south-east. And by the way, Scotland has a North-East too, and the article is about Scottish food in case you hadn't noticed
Irn bru taste like an orange cream soda.
Damn!!!! Adam and Madalyn. You have made me feel so homesick. watching you eat all my favourite foods brought a wee tear to may eye. For starters, any one who eats Porridge with salt, Honey, milk sugar or any other additive should be Flayed, Hanged Drawn and Quartered. You did not try the Arbroath Smokie . The Arbroath smokie is haddock, smoked over hardwood, in and around the small fishing town of Arbroath, Angus (Forfarshire) in east Scotland. Now you have missed one of the finest dishes of all. ROTFL, so you didn't try a deep fried Mars Bar eh! Try one of those at your own peril, but make sure to bring your own defibrillator, and a cardiac surgeon with you. Thanks for sharing. Great Video!
Deep fried Mars Bars are for the tourists. The Scots don't eat them.
You went all the way to Islay.......and had a Whiskey cocktail? Not even a single of one of the excellent local choices in a nosing glass? Please tell me you did but just showed you having the cocktail on your video, otherwise you seriously missed out! And I thought you were going to end on one of Scotland's main big and boastful dishes....Venison..... but no it was.......Pizza?? Were you scarred by watching Bambi as a child? Yep that must be the reason to omit Venison from your list!
We had many different types of Scotch in Islay, went to 6 distilleries. We have a vlog about that day up on our channel
Venison is nasty
wheres the steak pie......heathens......lived in Scotland my whole life and don't eat half of this......and i don't think anybody in Scotland has afternoon tea
Weird would love to see your video!
I took my mum for afternoon tea at the Balmoral this year for her birthday. Lovely wee treat. Loads of people here saying that Scottish people don't eat this stuff, but that's rubbish because everyone I know here eats most of this. That said - steak pie, yup...but which Scottish football ground does it best?
You're right. A lot of this is tourist food, not what the locals eat, and I'm Scottish, born and bred.
Afternoon tea use to be very popular treat. Though it was during the war, you didn’t use wartime coupons and there was quite a few spam sandwiches.
😂😂.
no HAGGIS???????
Lets be real here scotch food is about as dreary as there weather, its either deep fat fried or made from offal.. having said that though there seafood is nice and eggs benedict is a definite win
Where is the breakfast dumplings? It's like fried fruit cake
