WHO AM I?
If we haven't met before... Hi, I'm Ruth 👋 and I recently bought a campervan to travel my home country of Scotland after living overseas for 12 years. I’ve hardly seen anything or been anywhere in Scotland and now is the time to change that!
P.S. Some of the links in this description are affiliate links that I get a kickback from.
Are there any Scottish foods or drinks mentioned in the video that you hadn’t heard of before?

I have heard of haggas. Nothing else you mentioned I have heard of. They sound delicious though. Loved your going to the whiskey makers. Ruth I think you amazing. Thank you for providing the content.
I have heard of glen livet
I've been to the Western Isles many times walking and wildlife watching , the seafood is out of this world ...love Scotland
Many were new to me but I knew but not tried haggis, but have eaten shortbread, Scottish eggs, and a few others
My apologies, I didn't mean for your comment section to be a back and forth with me trying to correct misinformation from one of the commenters, I was merely trying to rectify a misguided ignorant and shameful generalization of a Native American tribe.
what the hell would Scottish tourism do without you....................... not a lot................... you are Scotland's number one.............
Wow.. thank you 🙏
I think you missed a few ellipses.
I’m from Grimsby in England, and I will eat haggis whenever I can, it is so hearty and good food.
My DNA is 16% Scottish and always wanted to go there. Sadly, I’m widowed and need a kidney so I will never be able to travel again. Thanks for taking me there virtually. Here in the US I’ve been able to enjoy many of the foods and drinks at restaurants, pubs and import shops. I’ve enjoyed your adventures as ambassador.I look forward to many more. ❤
Ruth: I know I have said this every time. Phenomenal presentation. Just for fun. With all of the food content you have described. What is your favorite Dinner, with beverage and desert? You don't have to answer this. I know you have so many comments to process. All the best and be safe.
16% ! That's good enough, you're Scottish(despite what your passport says!).👍😀 Best wishes from Scotland.😊
I’m glad to hear you can get many of these items in the states so you don’t need to travel to try them! ❤️
Come visit the US!
I would be thrilled to host a Valentine’s Day dinner!
You are truly amazing.
@apatriotone awe I'm gald you found Ruth's channel, as I'm glad I have. I hope Ruth won't mind if I recommend another, Steve Marsh, a also Scot. I only have 12% Scots DNA & I live in the Uk! I envy you your other 4% 😉😄
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!
Yes, you’ll find it on most cooked breakfasts in Scotland!!
How very dare you!!! I almost choked on my Buckfast when you called me a Ned. I'll have you know I actually got 5 Standard Grades for my 16th birthday, and gout for my 45th :) So you may have a point. Those evil Monks should change the label to the "Go To Jail" square from a Monopoly board. Great video as always. Big thumbs up .
Hahaha 😂😂
many people in my country mock GB and Scotland food by stereotype, I didn’t believe their voices and actually went Scotland and foods are delicious and I want Ironbru to ship in Japan so bad.
I've watched this three times! I've never seen such a compilation of Scottish foods and drinks. A must-see before visiting Scotland. Ruth, you're flying the Scottish flag (aka The Saltire) high!!
Wow, thanks so much!
Indeed! The Saltire is the long historically correct flag of the people of Scotland, and only Scottish Flag I will ever display.
And not a salad leaf in sight! I would say Stornoway Black pudding merits a mention; perhaps paired with Scottish scallops!
Sounds yummy!
From Mock The Week some years ago, an alleged roadside sign - “You are now entering Scotland - no salad for 320 miles.”
@@martinwaddell8429😂
Love the video. Spent my university days in Scotland and some of this takes me back. People get get old very quickly but your videos remind me of the happiest days of my life. Carry on the good work!
So glad you enjoy the videos, thanks for watching!
@@ruthaisling coming out of Century 2000 night club in Tollcross Edinburgh in the mid-90’s at about 2am and tapping up the bakery just off Cowgate for a stovey pie - happy days 😁
Thanks for the PDF, Ruth, and the brilliant video. Being Irish, I'm not at all familiar with Scottish food, but I did note some strong similarities to Irish food here and there. Some of the items you've listed are truly mouth-watering. As a fish lover, that Cullen Skink looks wonderful and is now No.1 on my wish list! 😋
Glad it’s helpful! I really like Irish potato farls, they are quite similar to potatoes scones!
Och aye hen but ye forgot tay mention kippers!! A braw Scottish breakfast. But I did enjoy the nostalgia from many years ago living in Midlothian and Dundee area. Now in Au.
Cullen Skink was my absolute favourite when I was based in Buckie, great memories.
I love it too 😍
Hi Ruth from Grimsby, Ontario Canada. My name is Patrick. I have 2 chronic pain conditions,1 in my neck called Cervical Stenosis & 1 in my lower back called Lumbar Spinal Stenosis. Most nights I can't so I can't sleep so I binge watch your videos. Thank you Ruth for making your videos.
Thank you for watching and I’m sorry to hear you struggle with sleeping.
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…
Me a the weins hae skirlie every wkend. Although I have found a cheat, use white pudding. 🤌🏼 haggis are indeed wee. We have a semi-tame one in the garden who also loves skirlie. 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. Love fae Aaaberdeen 😜
@@RMedich Hi…We don’t have any wee haggis running around here in Canada. It has to be imported from Scotland.
@@marshallbowen8693 if you haud yer wheesht ill send ye a breeding pair. Once they get to your side, it’s up to you. They’ll be fine in the Canadian climate, pretty similar to here. Dave’s telling me they prefer extremes of cold. Expect them in aboot 3 weeks. That’s not travel time, I’m just anticipating escapism and shenanigans.
Love stovies with sliced beetroot and oatcakes. One of my favourite meals great for having half way through a ceilidh or evening wedding reception. Clootie dumpling is great especially the hard outer skin - like tablet have never managed to make it properly so just eat everyone else’s.
I'm a very long tall black man, 6'8" who bought a Kilt! Will try to rock it when the weather warms.😂❤
Kilts can be very warm , unless there’s a strong southerly wind !
Enjoy wearing it! 🏴
The UK coastal charity walker Christian Lewis wore a cilt (Welsh version) throughout his 6 year walk, but he had leggings on under it as he walked in all weathers. I think he wrecked at least 2 over that period!
That's awesome!
@@alanthomson1227😂😂😂😂
Ruth, I really liked this informative, culinary upload. I'm 3rd generation Canadian of Scottish descendant, and always incorporate regional foods when I visit the old country. You've pointed out several things I wasn't aware of, and can't wait to try on my next return. Slàinte mhath!
Ruth, you’re incredible! I found your channel yesterday and have been binge watching since. This is the most interesting and informative list of Scottish foods, I would love to try all of them but most especially arbroath smokies. Wanting to see places my ancestors originated from, I’ve been to Scotland twice over the years and I love it so much. Your content and channel are wonderful, thank you for posting. Cheers from near the Canadian Rockies.
Wow, thank you! And thanks for watching in the Rockies 🙏
OH! This video is very helpful!
I am planning to travel to Scotland in July. I'll refer to this video!
ありがとうございます😊
Glad it’s helpful for you! Enjoy your trip to Scotland! 🏴
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.
Thanks for the suggestion! I hope you enjoy your trip!
Do they? I thought they considered themselves Scots!
Orkney & Shetland were ceded to Scotland in 1472 as part of a dowry settlement between the Norwegian and Scots kings. However the old way still prevail. Do visit. Both are lovely places. Orkney has the highest concentration of Neolithic remains than anywhere in western Europe, because of the geology. I am currently in the most remote part of Britain, Knoydart. Enjoy! Charles.
@@charlesscaife4266 it's my aim to get up there but I'm currently a bit disabled, I've wanted to visit those isles forever, just never been able to afford it so I'm really grateful to Ruth & Steve marsh taking me to them!
Also Scotland seems amazing that ferries, restraunts on island has vegan/plant based option on menu.
It’s really great. Things have definitely improved in the last 5-10 years!
mince and tatties are a regular favorite in my house. of course oat porridge is a must for me :)
A lot of similarities there between the Scottish and Ulster (Northern Ireland) diet there Ruth. We call tattie scones "tattie bread" over here and an "Ulster fry" consists of tattie bread, soda bread, pork sausages, black pudding (optional) and baked beans...no wonder we're all fat and have heart attacks in Scotland and Northern Ireland! 😲😁😁😁😜
Haha oh dear. I tried Irish potato farls recently and they are great, a bit more potato tasting than tattie scones which I liked
I can remember having soda scone as we called it as a youngster,absolutely beautiful. I'm a Lanarkshire lad originally,my great grandparents from Limavady Ulster.
One thing I find interesting is you don't see many obese Scots. The foods you showed seemed very calorie dense. I don't understand this. Maybe it's the genes or maybe Americans have some bad things in the food supply but the difference between Scotland and America seem large.
They spend a lot of time walking up mountains.
"..... maybe Americans have some bad things in the food supply......"
Read up about HFCS High Fructose Corn Syrup and seed oils and "vegetable" oils and all the other processed stuff that is sold as food.
Scotch pie.... Lovely. The feedback from Scottish football forums is that the best pies are those at Brechin City's matches. They are said to be absolutely the dogs bollox. I think there may also be other ingredients.
Sounds like Chinese/Mexican/Philippine street food. Never question what you are eating. Just enjoy.
Haha good to know they taste so good!
My wife & I spent 2 weeks driving around Scotland. We tried most of the food. My favorite for breakfast was Kippers. Haggis was OK, reminded me of Amish scrapple. Over all a fantastic trip that was very enjoyable. Even though we didn't find NESSIE
well John, af ye do happen tae find Nessie ,
pls consider
that you'll probably be on "the menu " yersel lol :)
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).
Thank you for this and all the others really, really good videos you make Ruth. Love that you go to less touristy places and show us the small and interesting things from daily life out there. Looking forward to your next video, hope it come soon.
Ruth. Your talking my language now. I am an English chef, and served a lot of Scottish food. Most places i served in, celebrated Burns night. Even my local hospital, we had a specials day. Not many went for the haggis. I love it, scotch pies, tattie bread, the only things on your list are the fish dishes, sorry i have a fish and seafood allergy. Yes, i know what people are thinking, chef with an allergy, there are lots of us about and the other is i live in Grimsby. Good informative video. ❤️🫶🏴🏴🚐🌹👍
Ah sorry to hear about your allergy but it’s nice there are so many other dishes you can enjoy!
You don’t have to be sorry. I have lived with it for 60 years i was diagnosed at 7 when i was given fish, went a funny colour and was sick, so i was told. Never stops me enjoying the food i can have. I wish chef/cooks would read labels. Big one is Worcestershire sauce is made with anchovies. Never stopped me enjoying my service round the world. But thank you. ❤️🫶🏴🏴🚐👍🌹
Damn...how uncanny things are. U are a split image of my Danish girlfriend I met in the England while studying medicine way back in the 70's. Her name was Margit... Or pronounced Margeet.😊😅😂. U really bring back memories. LuvU Mame...😊
OK, you’ve hooked us. Must try them all. Our favorite is Cock-a-Leekie soup, but we hope to find another when trying your list. Thanks from sharing.
Oh lovely! Please do try them all!
us???? nope. I'm a junk food junkie eater. This is yucky to me. 😂😂 How would we get any of this in the usa? We are not wealthy.
When trying the Scottish cuisine, watch Still Game or Chewin The Fat.....comedy doesn't get any better
@@JohnSmith-uy7svIt’s a list of foods to try when you’re IN Scotland. nobody’s talking about USA here. Major part of traveling is trying foreign foods. You don’t have to be wealthy to travel.
@@Susannatad87 YOU DON'T????? I can't afford to travel out of town for a 2 hour drive. 🤣🤣Maybe they would ship it to me by air drop. Why is no one talking about usa? Her channel does not say for scottish people only. duh. No one else welcome. 😁😁 americans go away, do not watch. ☺☺☺☺ I would beg to differ with Ruth that it is for everyone. 🙂
You are the best ambassador for Scotland, you actually got my attention with your food display. Certainly more appealing than previously thought and from my past experiences. So glad to see regional foods coming to age in a world class way!
Agreed. I’ve been binge watching.. the tourism board should include her work. A few years ago my daughter’s honors college took a class trip to Ireland from New York and she could find nothing to eat except Chinese food (which served pieces of fried chicken pieces) and McDonalds. Nothing on this list would appeal to her.. what a shame.
Hope you’ve included stewed sausage!? My nana used to make that for me all the time when i was young!!!
Thats not traditionally Scottish though. Its a UK dish
All my favourite health foods 😁
😂😂
My Wife always talks about her parents, taking her to the Scottish Bakery in Kearny, New Jersey, USA 🇺🇸. She loved a Scottish cookie called an Abernathy biscuit, she was heartbroken when they closed.
Oh that’s a shame it closed!
Google “stockists of Abernethy biscuits near me”. You should be able to buy them on the internet too.
Whenever I see scotch eggs I’m like why do I enjoy these? But then I eat them like a pig whenever I get my hands on em.
The Scottish food I ate was haggis and fish and chips, I want to try all the dishes introduced this time, Ruth--san often are Kitsune udon when she lived in japan, and she ate udon in Shikoku, Even walking Hahaha.
スコットランド料理で食べたのはハギスとフィッシュ&チップスですね、今回の紹介された料理をすべて食べてみたい、ルースさんは日本に滞在してる時はよくきつねうどんを食べてましたね、四国ではうどんの食べ歩きもねHahaha
香川県産のうどんときつねうどんはとても美味しい。 早く家で作らないと いつもありがとうございます！
You can get haggis sandwiches at DEENEY'S Scottish Flavour in Tokyo.
@@sarukravitz4981 Thank you for the good information.
It's surprising how many Scottish people think scotch eggs are Scottish because they have the word 'scotch' in the name. They originated in England, either in London or Whitby (people still argue about that.) they're certainly not Scottish. I'm surprised you made that mistake because your knowledge of the other stuff was good.
before watching the video food haggis, try it its delicious. drinks all the whisky you can.
I understand you MUST have a glass of whisky alongside the haggis. You must also recite Bobby Burns "Address to a Haggis".
ruth you scottish princess you show what its meanr to be scottish from dundee
When they reduced the sugar content in IrnBru they started putting more girders in it instead.
Oh my god I remember the advert 😂
😂😂
😅😅😅😂😂😂
"I've never tried Buckfast before"..........Ruth accidentally revealing that she's posh.......😉
Haha definitely not 😂😂
Here in Canada we have a similar looking chocolate bar to your Tunnock's Caramel Log's, here ours is called "Coffee Crisp".
As a Scot and fan of both, I can say that if you ate them side by side, you’d find the taste is totally different. Enjoy.
Do you remember what pudding you used to get that chip chops too?
Thanks for the wonderful memories of growing up with a Scottish Nana who introduced us to many yummy foods and also my two visits over to Scotland in your past. One thing you forgot to mention is marzipan.👍🏻
Oh lovely! Thanks for letting me know!
No thanks! I’m passing on the food and whisky. Is there a McDonalds around somewhere? That’s Scottish food isn’t it? 😝 I don’t eat at McDonalds in the US either though there’s a restaurant a couple of blocks away. Unhealthy!
In the US, a camper van is called an RV (Recreational Vehicle).
McDonald’s can be found in Scotland but I think it’s originally from the USA!
What a cute lassie 😊
How is there a vegetarian version of HAGIS???
Ruth, you are doing what I wished I had done 30 years ago in all your videos. I am from Australia and Scotland is as far as you can get from where I live in a small town called Sale in Victoria . Yes As my name is Robert Gordon Scott, a lot of my genes came from there decades ago, English and Norwegian as well I believe. I went there in 1992 but didn't do all that I should have. It was at the end of a gruelling three month world trip so I was simply toured out. I have many videos I shot during my travels and will be posting them here on my very small as yet RUclips channel in due course. You are one brave young & lovely lassie to be doing all this by yourself , as it appears. All the Best Robert
Great video Ruth. Just on Sticky Toffee pudding, I always thought it was invented in Cartmel, Cumbria. Quick google check indicates its origins are disputed with a place in Aberdeenshire claiming to have invented it as you say along with a hotel in Cumbria (the owners of the sticky toffee factory in Cartmel admit they didn't actually invent it). The truth is out there!
It’s so good, wherever it comes from!
Wow!!! This was AMAZING Ruth! I learned so much today that was never known to me. I live in Michigan, but my Grandparent's came from Saltcoats. We have cousins visit all the time and they always bring the "sweeties" to us. Especially fond of Orange Club and Penguin biscuits. Growing up, Mom found a Scotch Bakery in the metro area of Detroit. It was a big treat to get meat pies, bridies, steak pies and a few sweets a couple times a year, My Dad always loved "Fleas in the Graveyard" (raisin bars)? Anyhow, there are so many foods I still need to try! I am 60 years old and still have my Oor Wullie and Broon's comic books that we received at Christmas from kin each year. Love your channel!
Oh that’s lovely to hear, thanks for sharing! I hope you can try more of the items!
Love Scottish food. Found a Scot butcher in Sydney and I buy black pudding, white pudding, haggis, sq sausage, Scots pies , tattie scones etc. I was over there last October in Oban. Found it hard to get trad food. Easier to get curry or pizza. But there’s always the chippies where you get all the above deep fried. Best steak I’ve ever had was in Scotland.
That’s interesting! I guess here in Scotland you might have to go to a variety of shops to get all the items
スコッチエッグは学校の給食で何度か食べた思い出があります。ちょっと懐かしいメニュー😊
スコッチエッグは日本にあるのか？
They run you out town
Go to England
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.
That’s so interesting! Very likely came from the south of Scotland. And sounds just as delicious 😋
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.
Not the video to watch if you are watching your weight. Some great dishes. Long live the chip butty and the tattie scone. Fried Mars bars? Sounds awful. Another great video Ruth.
Thanks Jim! Tattie scones are so good!
It’s a shame you missed white pudding slippers. I used to get that every Saturday when I lived in Scotland especially Edinburgh.
It’s meant to say white pudding SUPPERS unfortunately I am blind and it sometimes causes spelling mistakes especially when you’re using their Siri system
It's debatable where deep fried Mars Bars originated from. A chip shop in my home town of Ilfracombe in Devon were selling them in the mid 1980's and at the time claimed to be the first place to do them! They even tried deep fried Cream eggs!
Eninburgh 1969, Hogmanay: finished the night off with a delicious deep-fried Mars bar and another bottle of whishky! I'm sure they were available in Scotland before then.
Buckfast wine has NOTHING to do with Scottish fare other than being one of the favourites of the poor for it's low price / high alcohol. It's not produced in Scotland.
If I hadn’t included it there would be comments about that too. Can’t win. 😂
Darn you, think I gained a couple inches on my waistline just watching your video 😂
Very tasty , thanks.
😂😂
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 😅😅😅😅.
Ooops! Thanks for sharing. I’m not a huge fan of the smell of Cullen skink either 😂
I keep some Scottish smoked salmon in my freezer at all times because I love it so much. Also I keep your Walker biscuits in my pantry at all times. Love it with my English tea. 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.
You forgot to mention there was an outrage over the new Irn Bru, and they were forced to release the "original" recipe. Luckily, here in Canada we just have the standard recipe with all the proper ingredients.
It all is made and comes from Scotland.
I’ve missed watching your videos, anyway I’m back ❤
Welcome back! 😂
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?
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.
It’s a bit thick and similar to what you described unless homemade maybe!
@@ruthaisling Good to know. Thanks to you both.
Wow! What a list you've put together. 😊 My diet really changed living in Scotland...my first year here I asked if all people eat is carrots and potatoes, due to the dearth of foods I was used to. 😂 And I think by now I've had all of these and everything is always superb!
WHAT? No Pickled Herring? No Head Cheese? No Lutefisk? This video made me hungry! My PPJ isnt going to do it today!
very much into the savory foods in your video, apart from Dundee cake and the various shortbread and biscuits I dont have a sweet tooth at all...love the malt Whiskys and Beers though...I have had time in Scotland and loved it very much, doing the Munros in my Army days was very memorable.....enjoying your videos.
Do you Know the best way to get to Ecclesfechan?….get the Feckin bus 😂
Food in Scotland goes two ways Fantastic or Bloody awful .....thats it
😂😂
Watching this after having a fish supper with chippy sauce and a Irn Bru 😂
Oh yum!
Buckfast . . Made by monks , for drunks 🤮 .
😂😂
@@ruthaisling Just watched your Corrour station . Booked for about 3 years 🤣🤣
Thank you! This will make my trip to Glasgow next October food-wise a bit easier, since I now know what to go for. I'm from Finland and we actually have very high quality water here as well, so will be interesting to go for a not so serious "shoot-out"!
Omg I worked in balmoral castle. I love Scotland, haggis is the best. It’s quite hard to get it in wales. But Tesco is the place to get it.
That must have been so cool 😎 ❤ !! I've never been there. It is the prettiest castle 🏰 in UK 🇬🇧 ❤
@@Kim-J312 it was, it was hard work but it was worth it, beautiful castle beautiful grounds, amazing wildlife there as well. ❤️
Oh wow that’s amazing you worked there!
I really enjoy you and your channel. Would you ever consider sailing around the globe or a leg of the journey with an American adventurer like myself?🎉
Haha possibly! I don’t have much experience with sailing big boats though!
Thank you:-). I bought my last sailboat in Fairlie Quay Scotland and sailed it across the Atlantic in 2016. Loved the food there:-)
I can’t believe you left out mealie (white) pudding😢. The cornerstone of any Scottish breakfast
Great Video and super presentation. You look great without your hat.
Just to clarify, the Mars bar in the UK is a Milky Way bar in the USA (the USA Mars bar has nuts in it).
Thank you!
Sticky toffee pudding originally comes from Cartmel in Cumbria 🤔
It’s made in Cartmel yes but I think it was first made at The Sharrow Bay Hotel by Ullswater. The owner /chef was Francis Coulson
Hi Ruth. Love watching your videos. It certainly inspires me to visit my homeland more often
It makes me salivate every time you show Sticky Toffee Pudding. Make sure you go to Fishers for Sticky Toffee Pudding if you are in Leith, Edinburgh. It is across the street from the Malmaison Hotel--a real treasure.
Really great video Ruth. As a fan of Scottish Beers, glad you have put them on the map, as it were. Quite a few treats you mentioned I’ll happily be checking out! Cheers!
Hope you enjoy them!
I am surprised how many of these food articles are here in the US but named differently.
Great videos Ruth. Keep up the good work.
And you resemble one of the TV actors in the US version of 'The Office' by Ricky Gervais.
Buena suerte !
Me encanta Escocia!!! 🤟🏻❤️🏴
After my first ? comment..this is fantastic..I love cooking as an old geek..most inform😊ative and beautifully presented..Russell
Ahem...the Scandinavian people are at most related to the Gaelic folk of Ireland and Scotland...🤔. Get me if I am wrong...😊😅😂...

I recently discovered Tunnocks Snowballs at a grocery store in British Columbia Canada, they are delightful!
Everything looks so delicious 😋 specially the first dish she showed wow I want to try it ❤🙏😊
You should!
Great. But very hard to take by a chronic dieter. Lovely memories, must text Jolly’s of Orkney for a huge order. Thanks for a reason for wickedness. Rmb5*
Rotfl. While it’s a Scotch style ale, Old Chub is a beer made by the Oskar Blues Brewery in my hometown, the beautiful Longmont, Colorado. It can’t be any more American product.
Haggis invented by the English. most of the so called Scottish food is a version of English food! Even the clan tartans they use today were in fact "invented" by two English brothers from KENT!
Just a quick question. 🙋♀️. Are people buying beef sausage because of the muslim influence.
Because square sausage definitely taste better with pork. ❤

I spent a year in Fife, commuting to Edinburgh. My favourite breakfast was stovies from a sandwich bar. On a cold windy Edinburgh morning stovies is(are?) great comfort food.
When is the best time to visit/tour from CA, USA? Also-which towns are the best for teens & moms? Thx!
Eccelfechan sounds a lot like 'Shoefly Pie' from Amish (Eastern USA). Greaat vid!
Miss the ⬜️ or ⚪️ slice, with the potato scone, black pudding, and fried egg roll with a 🍵 tea.😋😋 frank Marvin now
I have had 4 morning breakfast with haggis within the last week meaning that I am probably more Scottish than you, Ruth hahaha 😂😂😂 Love this video!
Haha you probably are! Did you enjoy them? 😂
@@ruthaisling Hahaha yes I did! Finished them all although had to take some time to digest it as it can be very heavy to consume first thing in the morning 😂
I thought haggis had been ousted as the national dish by deep fried Mars Bar in batter. Just pulling your leg, it's still Haggis.
But sadly the current recipe is a poor substitute for the original roasted animal. The Greater Highland Haggis (Terra-maior melisia) the only member of it's genus, was hunted to extinction 300+ years ago. In appearance it resembled a long legged badger. The only surviving example is a rather tatty stuffed skin on display by arrangement in Edinburgh Castle. Known to frighten children and those of a sensitive disposition, it is only available to view by special request. Not many people know that. Just ask at reception and say Angus sent you.
BTW Scotch Pie served with tatties and neeps or mushy peas, followed by Clootie Pudding and custard. Is a meal fit for Kings.
