    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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!

      As always brilliant video Ruth, must have taken a good bit of research. A Scottish breakfast is incredible but can't be eaten too often. I only found out a few days ago that the 'Scotch egg' has little to do with us, it was invented in Yorkshire apparently. As for buckfast, haha the less said about that the better, I'd rather that had little to do with Scotland even though produced in Devon. 😁

    Another great video from Scotlands roving ambassador. Im from Northern Ireland and many of the foods you mention are regular items on our shopping list. An Ulster fry is not complete without potato bread as we call it. Christmas is the time we consume boxes of Tunnocks teacakes - so delicious. I havent tried a battered Mars bar, so next time I'm in Scotland, I'll be trying one. Keep up the good work - you do so much to promote your homeland.

      Scotch eggs don't have anything to do with Scotland. The word 'scotch' refers to the flash frying of the breadcrumbs. it's an old English word for 'scorch.' The recipe was created by Fortnum and Mason in London.
