Haggis aren't sheep, they're little fluffy mammals. Me and my dad used to go hunt them in the winter glens, they're hard to see unless you know how to find them ;)
+MrcabooseVG They run really fast as well, you need to chase the Haggi or Haggises (plural) before they get away. They taste great, so it is very rewarding if you manage to snatch one up!
+leemallory19 Only those with longer right legs are "left" now... Damn illegal poachers, don't they know Haggis are an endangered species under total protection?! >:(
The way you always describe the treats you taste is just amazing! You're so descriptive, and imaginative I can practically taste them! Seeing your videos in my sub box always makes me happy. Have an absolutely wonderful day/night! Sending love from Texas 😙
Haggis - sheep and cow heart/lungs/liver, beef, onions and oats Black pudding - fried blood mostly Irn Bru - Made from steel girders AND HE DIDN'T SEND YOU ANY SHORTBREAD!!! OR TABLET!! THAT'S LITERALLY OUR MOST SCOTTISH SWEETS!
I'm from scotland and haggis is AMAZING! don't let what people say about it put u off because it is something very different u won't get anywhere else but still really good!
I find it to be like a very tasty sausage. Love it. Grew up on stories that the haggis had longer legs on the back so it could run up the moors easily. Took me a bit to understand that they were teasing me lol.
I'm from Scotland, Edinburgh! For breakfast each morning I either have porridge with milk or a soft boiled egg with toasted soldiers, I also have a cup of tea every morning xx lovely video 😊
AH! Thank you. :) I kind of figured that is what it was, but I wasn't sure. That is very smart. We just cut it in half diagonally so that you can dip the points into the egg but I like the toast soldiers better, especially if you have something like a cup of soup.
My grandfather (on my mothers side) used to have a 'porridge drawer' in the house. My Granny made loads of it, and placed it into baking trays to go cold and 'set'. Once set, it was taken out of the trays and laid out on greaseproof paper in the drawer. An old 3 drawer dressing table was used, and it was always the top drawer that kept the porridge. In the morning, she would cut squares of porridge and wrap them in baking paper for him to take to work and eat. Traditionally, you're only meant to have porridge 'on it's own', but a lot of old timers put a pinch or 2 of salt in with it. More modern tastes have seen sugar added, and even a few dollops of jam. You should try a ''snowball''. The snowball has a _very_ soft marshmallow filling (almost bordering on a liquid), with an outer layer of chocolate and dessicated coconut. I defy anyone to eat one without getting it all over their fingers, mouth, or stuck to at least _one_ item of clothing. I can't remember how I got to this video. One minute I was watching a guy make traditional Scottish tablet, then I found this! All the best from the North East of Scotland. Happy Holidays, and wishing you a prosperous New Year ahead. Dawg.
My favorite breakfast is grits with an egg on top. I mix the egg into the grits (the yolk has to be runny). So good, especially with a bit of sausage on the side. My kids favorite breakfast is rice porridge with either chicken or duck meat. Gotta say, it's a close second for me also.
Sophie Karpinski I know how it sounds but my daughter loves it in rice porridge. It doesn't take much. One small wild duck breast is enough for both of my teenage kids. it's cut up to add flavor to the mild porridge. Using Thai 5 spice soup base instead of chicken stock also goes well with the duck. Before this became her favorite, broiled fish, rice & miso soup was her breakfast of choice. Both of my kids prefer savory foods in the mornings.
I really enjoy your "Emmy Eats" videos because you are incredibly respectful to other cultures. I see too many TH-camrs bringing in the dramatics and offending groups of people. You remain objective and save the drama for your mamma. Great job!
I remember when she opened the package that had the little Emmy doll(bookshelf, top left corner) someone made for her and it was the most adorable little doll ever! She even has little snacks she holds, so cute! I wish I knew if the person who made it has an Etsy shop bc I would love to have some made!
Ach. Get yirseel tae Scotland, bonny lass. Ye need tae hae a three course meal o' Cullen skink (fish soup), haggis neeps (rutabega) and tatties, then cranochan (a sweet made from wild berries, cream and whisky). Great that ye had Abernethys. Ma favourite biscuit. But a guid selection a' roond.
Is it bad that I have no relatives in Scotland, have never been to Scotland, and only spoken to one Scottish person (who was a teacher who had learned to hide his accent) but still understood everything you said perfectly?
You'd traditionally eat porridge with salt sprinkled on top. I prefer it with honey, even though I don't have a sweet tooth. In farming communities, leftover porridge was put in a special lined drawer in the kitchen and left to harden, it was then cut into pieces and eaten with cheese or whatever...that's where oatcakes come from...trying to make the most of everything. Great video, very eloquent :D
Porridge isn't something we usually eat in Italy, we stick to latte and cereals. But I learned how to cook it when I was abroad, and now it's one of my favourites for winter breackfast, so hot and yummi with nuts!
Old-fashioned oats, cooked with just a Lil cinnamon, sprinkle of salt, maybe a little spoon of sugar and a pat of butter. Cooked sticky and dry then topped with a little milk
We in the UK use treacle in tradition Christmas cakes, Christmas pudding, treacle tart and treacle sponge. It is very versatile and is basically molasses and a derivative of golden syrup.
My mum used to joke that they don't do blood transfusion in Scotland if you go to hospital they just give you a can of iron bru and tell you to dae wan.

+Matt Acta I live in Newfoundland Canada and the caramel bars and logs (which are covered in coconut) are extremely popular here, you can find them at most convenience stores, and even one hardware store I used to work at. I live in the oldest city in North America and there's a lot of people with English, Scottish, Irish heritage so some things over there are quite popular here.
@@aaronsinclair6129What about white pudding, lorne square sausage, tattie scones, Ayrshire bacon, the best version of black pudding with the usual fried eggs washed down with a mug of well brewed tea? That's the true Scottish breakfast! I miss scotch pies.😢
Yes Scots called potatoes "tatties". Those Haggis crisps are really strong a whole bag and it leaves your mouth burning! I live in Aberdeenshire, NE Scotland near Mackies of Scotland. They make ice-cream mainly but also crisps and chocolate.
treacle is used in many cakes, used in place of syrup when you want to make the cake dark golden syrup is used for golden or light coloured cakes, it also has a deaper flavour like american molases, we also use it in porage or on a slice of bread in stead of jam.
Don't worry Emmy, Scottish cuisine is actually really delicious; its very hearty and either VERY sweet or VERY savoury, with hints of spice: its not English food after all.
akio 00711 We do not. Us Scottish have the finest beef, lamb, fish, pork, chicken and more. We have freshly grown vegetables and fruit. Scottish Traditional meals are not "Shit" like you say they're actually pretty tasty. It's a lot healthier than some other countries cuisine too. I'd think before saying something as mindless as you have. The thing is you're probably a low life anyway who doesn't know anything. All the best. Have a good New Year.
akio 00711 how would you know it taste like shit if you have never tasted it , you talk more shit than what comes out your backside side so please do yourself a favour and STFU
Actually most haggis now adays are made with more pig than sheep and uses mostly the lungs, it's served in a stomach lining but you usually don't eat that ^^ I was startled when I read the title of this video, I figured I'd have noticed if someone was eating Scotland... but then I am pretty obtuse x'D We also have amazing fudge, shortbread, bon bons and soor plooms and loads of other kinds of candies =D If you'd like I'd be happy to send you some!
I have lived in Scotland for all of my life.Yeah, you should come one day to Scotland and I would like to show isle of arran where I live and show around there, :) .
Try those 'quarter-circle' oatcakes (they're also known as petticoat tails in Canada and Scotland) with a bit of butter and they become so much tastier. I live in Canada, and we used to be able to get petticoat tail oatcakes that were made by Nairn's in Scotland, but Nairn's changed the style of the oatcakes so that now they are small, round cakes instead of the larger type.
That's how my gran used to take her porridge. She used to say that having sugar on porridge was the English way. Don't forget the splash of milk that turns the porridge into a floating island. I used to love that.
I love opening my TH-cam and seeing not only a new video from you but a long video from you is even better!!! That was a nice box of treats. you do such an amazing job of describing them for us! =}
emmymadeinjapan We have! We have enjoyed the cooler weather for sure! We are definitely ready for fall around here! I bet Fall is gorgeous in your neck of the woods!
I love learning about each country to states food preferences. You describe everything so well that I feel as if I’ve been able to taste the food /ingredients as well
Black Bun is often used when First Footing. The ‘first foot’ in the house after midnight is still very common is Scotland. To ensure good luck, a first footer should bring traditional gifts including a lump of coal to lovingly place on the host’s fire, along with shortbread, a black bun and whisky to toast to a Happy New Year. To first foot a household empty-handed is considered grossly discourteous, never mind unlucky!
I love these videos, its awesome seeing what other places eat and you give such a good description of how they taste! I wish i could send you a parcel from where i live in North Carolina, but most of our snacks are either homemade or pickled. Like pickeled hotdogs, eggs, or pigs feet. Some great home cooked meals here (to me) is the NC style BBQ (which is a vinegar based sauce), grits with shrimp (more of an outerbanks thing), or some fruit turnovers. If i could, id send you some meals, but i dont think the post office would like that too much.
+emmymadeinjapan Hi! I actually work for Stuart's (who made the black bun) and it's so great to see someone enjoy Scottish foods from an outside perspective, the video was awesome! :)
You can put treacle on lots of things. Pancakes, toast, porridge, fruit, desserts etc. Theres also an upside down treacle cake which is gorgeous. But you can put it in cakes and biscuits and brownies and stuff to make them sticky and sweeter. Treacle is a staple and must have of the British home.
I eat McCann's Oatmeal with raisins and milk. Sometimes I add a bit of brown sugar. There is also another brand of oatmeal that is good: Minsley steel cut. It comes in a cup pre-cooked, and you drop it in the microwave for 60 seconds. It's organic, but it comes in a plastic cup.
I'm sorry but instant isn't any where near as good as the real stuff. get some good oats in a pan add water and a pinch of salt cook till done and splash a bit of milk in with it tastes bloody lovely .
If was so cute watching you eat the rock, it's popular in the UK to get if you gon on holiday at the coast. There's many different flavours. I love how excited you were!
Whole oats are really oat groats which look like browned rice. The oatmeal we usually see is rolled oats which is oat groats flattened (rolled) and sliced. Steel cut oats are oat groats which have been cut. I like oat groats best but they have a longer cooking time.
Yes. Use treacle for things. It's amazing. There are so many wonderful recipes for it. I have made some wonderful sauces, hokey pokey, and even cakes with it. You can use it the same as you would corn syrup, and it tastes SO much better. Also, black treacle is molasses.
Treacle is any uncrystallised syrup made during the refining of sugar. The most common forms of treacle are golden syrup, a pale variety, and a darker variety known as black treacle. Black treacle, or molasses, has a distinctively strong, slightly bitter flavour, and a richer colour than golden syrup.
Oatmeal is my current go to breakfast. My favourite way to make it is with dried cranberries, a sprinkle of brown sugar, cinnamon and a splash of vanilla. So good! And my 14 month daughter loves it too.
I am Canadian but my mom's father was from Glasgow. Treacle is basically in two forms, Black - which is basically molasses Golden - which is golden syrup. Suffice to say both are yummy. Being that my mom's father was from Scotland I grew up eating porridge in the scottish style like the creamy kind though not instant, made with milk, and my mom would serve it with golden treacle - we could buy it here easily from the supplier of Marks N Spencer items. Plus a little butter and usually some raisins or she would put butter, and brown sugar and cinnamon just delish. We could get some of those candies too but the biscuits aka cookies were a special treat. Loved them
I make porridge every morning, using rolled oats. After it's cooked I sprinkle it with a bit demerara sugar and some hot milk. A great start to the day!
Haggis is lovely. It's similar taste but not texture to White Pudding which is part of an 'Irish Breakfast'. The Edinburgh rock takes me back to my childhood, we used to drive to Scotland and get a ferry over to my uncle's Island and would always stock up on rock. Your description is spot on.
In case you didn't know, where most people add sugar to porridge, (or porage), in Scotland it is more usual to add salt. Even though I've lived here a year, I haven't seen 'Lucky Tatties' or 'Black Bun'. Have to agree with the description of all the others.
I love Greek yogurt with slivered almonds, dried cranberries, flax and chia seeds. Keeps me FULL until lunchtime. I enjoy your videos so much! You describe things so well that I can almost taste them! Thank you for sharing your treats :)
Haggis is not made with cow darling! It's made with sheeps/lambs heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, seasoning and piped into sheeps stomach.......just saying!
My mum uses treacle to make ginger bread or even homemade treacle toffee, I think that there are a few places where people actually put it in bread and just eat it. Edinburgh Rock actually comes in loads of different flavours, I believe you can get ginger and strawberry as well as a bunch of others. Regular rock is hard and not crumbly (though sometimes it's soft if it's a little old) and it usually has the name of where you got it running through the centre, it tends to be either minty or generic fruit flavour.
I used to eat boiled haggis with sweat potatoes and baked beans. Yeah... typical uni food. Treacle is a kind of heavy syrup, so much so that thick liquids or over stewed tea is said to be like treacle. Fun fact; treacle is mined out of the ground.
Usual breakfasts are: plain, whole yogurt with nutty granola; or 2 hard-boiled eggs; or ratatouille with an omelette; or bacon and scrambled eggs; or slow-cooker steel cut oats with butter and a tiny bit of brown sweetener; or polenta (cornmeal mush) with grated cheese; or a big plate of pan-fried white fish; or pho; or left-overs from the night before. I usually always drink herbal tea all day long. Life...It's like a candy pickle. :)
Haggis is delicious! Treacle is good for baking, nice on pancakes or ice cream or fruit, or you could eat it out of the tin with a spoon like my boyfriend does. You can use it as you would honey or maple syrup, but it has a slightly cooked, brown sugar-like flavour to it.
My Gran (Grandma) loves treacle with her porridge, actually.😅 But, I believe treacle is also used in a lot of traditional baking as a replacement of sugar.
A couple tips for you, Emmy. Haggis can be found in the US. If you can't find any import shops or Scottish bakeries/butchers nearby like I have, there are some offerings to be found online. For tinned haggis, look for Stahly's or Caledonian Kitchen. For frozen, look for Ackroyd's Scottish Bakery. Ackroyd's also has an array of tasty treats, both savory and sweet, and will ship to your door. The oatcakes, or oaties as they're often called, are very nice toasted in the oven and topped with black or red currant jelly or lemon curd, and perhaps a bit of clotted cream.
i love porridge or oatmeal for breakfast. i actually make mine from scratch...i add sliced banana, craisins, chopped apple, cinnamon, nutmeg and almond milk. delicious!
Tunnocks caramels are amazing, but their teacakes are even nicer! The "mallow" in the middle isn't like your typical chewy mallow, it's an extremely light, fluffy cream. Heavenly!
Porridge/oat person here. When it's summer I tend to have oats mixed with yogurt and in colder months just oats boiled with semi skimmed milk (great for the cold, windy island mornings). My brother in law has it the traditional way with salt, I don't.
Don't worry Emmy,Lucky Tatties are also a mystery over here.The porridge is usually flavoured with salt.Raisins are red grapes,sultanas are white grapes.Treacle is a very thich dark version of molasses.
+david bradley Ha! I always thought sultanas were just big fatty raisins/grapes. I've always called the white grape raisins 'golden raisins.' The more you know. :)
maple brown sugar oatmeal with sliced banana and granola is what I like for a hearty breakfast. With a glass of Carnation Breakfast essentials. It holds me over until lunch.
In Scotland, it is traditional to have just salt to flavour your porridge, and the authentic stuff is made with water and mixed with a wooden stick called a spurtle. You can get boxes of Edinburgh rock and it's available in all kinds of fruit flavours. I grew ! North East England and it's sold in a lot of retailers here too. Tunnock's Caramel bars are also popular here, but they make a confection called tea cakes, which are even better. They have a crumbly biscuit base topped with a creamy whipped marshmallow and covered in a layer of chocolate. They were a childhood favourite of mine. I love oat cakes and so does my cat Ziggy (she also likes crisps, salted popcorn and salt and vinegar flavour rice cakes) and if I ever buy any, I have to share with her. I always know if a snack is worth buying again if Ziggy likes it. :)
Yay my parcel :) Thanks so much Emmy!

Try those 'quarter-circle' oatcakes (they're also known as petticoat tails in Canada and Scotland) with a bit of butter and they become so much tastier. I live in Canada, and we used to be able to get petticoat tail oatcakes that were made by Nairn's in Scotland, but Nairn's changed the style of the oatcakes so that now they are small, round cakes instead of the larger type.
Porridge with a sprinkle of salt.... lovely. Every second morning, some fruit and not quite so much salt... LOL Great video.
That's how my gran used to take her porridge. She used to say that having sugar on porridge was the English way. Don't forget the splash of milk that turns the porridge into a floating island. I used to love that.
This is probably one of my favorite Emmy Eats, and I think it's because you seem to enjoy just about every one of these treats.
The porridge looks so good yummy
I’ve lived in Scotland for 35 years and I’ve tried 4 of these 😂. Think this is the older generations idea of Scottish treats!
I love opening my TH-cam and seeing not only a new video from you but a long video from you is even better!!! That was a nice box of treats. you do such an amazing job of describing them for us! =}
Thanks +MsDreamcakes :D Hope you enjoyed the long weekend.
emmymadeinjapan We have! We have enjoyed the cooler weather for sure! We are definitely ready for fall around here! I bet Fall is gorgeous in your neck of the woods!
the rock you bite a bit off then use it like a lolly when it falls off the stick
and where is the irn bru?
I love learning about each country to states food preferences. You describe everything so well that I feel as if I’ve been able to taste the food /ingredients as well
Had a little chuckle every time Emmy said "Edinberg", it's pronounced more like "Edinbruh"
Buruh!
Would just like to say this is the nicest happiest thing Ive seen online all week. Wonderful , subscribed thumbs up :)
strong food for a strong country!
Black Bun is often used when First Footing.
The ‘first foot’ in the house after midnight is still very common is Scotland. To ensure good luck, a first footer should bring traditional gifts including a lump of coal to lovingly place on the host’s fire, along with shortbread, a black bun and whisky to toast to a Happy New Year.
To first foot a household empty-handed is considered grossly discourteous, never mind unlucky!
+Steve Page What a great tradition and story. I love the how all the items listed bring warmth and sustenance. :) Thanks for sharing.
I love these videos, its awesome seeing what other places eat and you give such a good description of how they taste!
I wish i could send you a parcel from where i live in North Carolina, but most of our snacks are either homemade or pickled. Like pickeled hotdogs, eggs, or pigs feet.
Some great home cooked meals here (to me) is the NC style BBQ (which is a vinegar based sauce), grits with shrimp (more of an outerbanks thing), or some fruit turnovers. If i could, id send you some meals, but i dont think the post office would like that too much.
+candihyphenpants Thanks for thinking of me. :) I have eaten a few NC things you can find the video here: th-cam.com/video/3Vw5aZSByrE/w-d-xo.html
emmymadeinjapan oh wow! Im so got to taste a little bit of my state then! The video is wonderful and adorable as always :D
+emmymadeinjapan Hi! I actually work for Stuart's (who made the black bun) and it's so great to see someone enjoy Scottish foods from an outside perspective, the video was awesome! :)
Yes! I'm from SC and I wish Emmy could try some of the local "delicacies" haha. If only we could ship her to the state fair!
Saaame omg. Maybe i will go down the outer banks this summer and see if i can find things from the coast to send O:
You can put treacle on lots of things. Pancakes, toast, porridge, fruit, desserts etc. Theres also an upside down treacle cake which is gorgeous. But you can put it in cakes and biscuits and brownies and stuff to make them sticky and sweeter. Treacle is a staple and must have of the British home.
Jesus, if y'all wanna see beauty look at that smile 2:50
I went to Scotland recently and I must say there are so many things to see and do! It's truly an amazing and beautiful place!
+4696bella I would love to go someday. :)
My husband refuses to watch you when you don't have Dragonball hair.
iomoon crisis alert
I eat McCann's Oatmeal with raisins and milk. Sometimes I add a bit of brown sugar. There is also another brand of oatmeal that is good: Minsley steel cut. It comes in a cup pre-cooked, and you drop it in the microwave for 60 seconds. It's organic, but it comes in a plastic cup.
Instant porridge is not "just as good" as home made. At all.
definetely not!
Steven G no it's not DEFINITELY NOT
That's why I said 'almost as good' and not 'just as good' when I sent Emmy this parcel :)
I'm sorry but instant isn't any where near as good as the real stuff. get some good oats in a pan add water and a pinch of salt cook till done and splash a bit of milk in with it tastes bloody lovely .
Anyone tried the new “overnight oats” recipes? I don’t think I’d enjoy cold oatmeal!
If was so cute watching you eat the rock, it's popular in the UK to get if you gon on holiday at the coast. There's many different flavours. I love how excited you were!
they sell the caramel wafer bar in the southern US at Publix :) they are sooo good! lol
+DanzeZingThing Oh, I miss Publix from when I lived down south. It was a good store. :)
+madeinamerica They're usually in the international foods aisle :)
+Kimberly Adams sure is. I'm sure u must miss the subs, right?lol XP
I hate wafer bars because it tastes like you're eating air lol
DanzeZingThing These ones have lots of thin layers of sticky caramel between the wafer layers, they're really good with a cup of tea.
I just love the background today! That doll someone made you is almost as wonderful as the real you! Love it!
haha! i noticed lil Emmy too 😆
+bgishy Here's where she came from: th-cam.com/video/HeRK0KXYCqI/w-d-xo.html :)
Actually, haggis is an animal and you only find them in the highlands of Scotland
they look like bag pipes
CommanderM117 what does?
Eilidh McGuire lol hahaha
Have seen haggis. Can confirm.
Whole oats are really oat groats which look like browned rice. The oatmeal we usually see is rolled oats which is oat groats flattened (rolled) and sliced. Steel cut oats are oat groats which have been cut. I like oat groats best but they have a longer cooking time.
Thanks to my Scottish friend for sending Emmy this!
Edinburgh is pronounced edin burrah for future :)
+Elizabeth Cochran Indeed. It seems every country outside of scotland has trouble pronouncing it right! Entertaining sometimes.
Yes. Use treacle for things. It's amazing. There are so many wonderful recipes for it. I have made some wonderful sauces, hokey pokey, and even cakes with it. You can use it the same as you would corn syrup, and it tastes SO much better. Also, black treacle is molasses.
Please Americans, Edinburgh is NOT pronounced Edinburrow!!!!!
+Aidankiwi Lol bless them
I know same with Dunfermline, dunferrrrmline
edinbruh
Edinburrow Scatland
its, embra
Treacle is any uncrystallised syrup made during the refining of sugar. The most common forms of treacle are golden syrup, a pale variety, and a darker variety known as black treacle. Black treacle, or molasses, has a distinctively strong, slightly bitter flavour, and a richer colour than golden syrup.
Scotland all the way X
Oatmeal is my current go to breakfast. My favourite way to make it is with dried cranberries, a sprinkle of brown sugar, cinnamon and a splash of vanilla. So good! And my 14 month daughter loves it too.
this is why im proud to be Scottish
I am Canadian but my mom's father was from Glasgow. Treacle is basically in two forms,
Black - which is basically molasses
Golden - which is golden syrup.
Suffice to say both are yummy.
Being that my mom's father was from Scotland I grew up eating porridge in the scottish style like the creamy kind though not instant, made with milk, and my mom would serve it with golden treacle - we could buy it here easily from the supplier of Marks N Spencer items. Plus a little butter and usually some raisins or she would put butter, and brown sugar and cinnamon just delish.
We could get some of those candies too but the biscuits aka cookies were a special treat. Loved them
I was sure Winston would make an appearance when you were eating those shortbread cookies, but you kept him at bay.
+Erica S He's a sly one that Winston. You never when he'll make an appearance. :D
lol
Erica S wan legged winston is it ?
I make porridge every morning, using rolled oats. After it's cooked I sprinkle it with a bit demerara sugar and some hot milk. A great start to the day!
It's pronounced like edinbra just in case u come 2 Scotland because Scottish people hate that
Well everyone does correct her in their head
yes lol
+DeanRFC72 sorry to say but every one I know does
+DeanRFC72 Ayrshire
+DeanRFC72 cool
Haggis is lovely. It's similar taste but not texture to White Pudding which is part of an 'Irish Breakfast'. The Edinburgh rock takes me back to my childhood, we used to drive to Scotland and get a ferry over to my uncle's Island and would always stock up on rock. Your description is spot on.
Oh aye edinburg aye no it's Edinburgh, pronounced Ed Inn Bur Ugh
I'm not even Scottish, and that one made me cringe. Ja, dat candy iss from Eddinberg, a small town in Bavaria! ^-^
When you said "Scotland" in the Scottish accent it actually sounded very accurate hahaha
Oml I thought no one knew of our existence
A-H-H-HEM ARE YOU A SCOTTISH ARMY???
Sorry, I got a little excited...
OML SCOTTISH ARMY.
In case you didn't know, where most people add sugar to porridge, (or porage), in Scotland it is more usual to add salt.
Even though I've lived here a year, I haven't seen 'Lucky Tatties' or 'Black Bun'. Have to agree with the description of all the others.
Have you ever done an Emmy's favs from around the world? If not maybe that's something you could do at the end of the year!
+Felicia Graham Yes, I usually do an end of the year best of, so look for it around the new year. :)
Thanks!! :)
I love Greek yogurt with slivered almonds, dried cranberries, flax and chia seeds. Keeps me FULL until lunchtime. I enjoy your videos so much! You describe things so well that I can almost taste them! Thank you for sharing your treats :)
Im from Scotland, Fife and i dont like haggis or irn bru 😂
+Conkers Bonkers I'm from Coatbridge , i like Haggis but HATE Irn Bru.
thank fuck, no just me then....
I'm from Glasgow. I really like both. :P
Ciara I'm from Dudee and I love both!
I'm Scottish and I am allergic to whiskey. I get a thundering migraine headache from even just a small sip. I don't like the taste either.
The way you pronounced Edinburgh was funny 😂 i'm from Scotland and i'm glad you liked the food. Great video Emmy x
Haggis is not made with cow darling! It's made with sheeps/lambs heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, seasoning and piped into sheeps stomach.......just saying!
Markus mate you’re a fucking genius
My mum uses treacle to make ginger bread or even homemade treacle toffee, I think that there are a few places where people actually put it in bread and just eat it. Edinburgh Rock actually comes in loads of different flavours, I believe you can get ginger and strawberry as well as a bunch of others. Regular rock is hard and not crumbly (though sometimes it's soft if it's a little old) and it usually has the name of where you got it running through the centre, it tends to be either minty or generic fruit flavour.
waiting for the episode titled "Emmy eats kids" where she becomes a homicidal cannibal.
Ryan you’re a proper boy. she’ll eat more than kids though lol
She'll first coat them in gelatine.
Oh my goodness!!!! Emmy your hair looks gorgeous!! X you can be ugly even if you tried! Xx
'You can't be ugly even if you tried'
She's not ugly. Holy shit. 😂😂😂
I used to eat boiled haggis with sweat potatoes and baked beans. Yeah... typical uni food.
Treacle is a kind of heavy syrup, so much so that thick liquids or over stewed tea is said to be like treacle. Fun fact; treacle is mined out of the ground.
NO NOT SCOTLAND WHY DID YOU EAT SCOTLAND NOOOOOO MY HOME COUNTRY
PyroTechnic it might take awhile though scotland is decently big
@Bbisje Dude...I've seen you on every comment lol
Usual breakfasts are: plain, whole yogurt with nutty granola; or 2 hard-boiled eggs; or ratatouille with an omelette; or bacon and scrambled eggs; or slow-cooker steel cut oats with butter and a tiny bit of brown sweetener; or polenta (cornmeal mush) with grated cheese; or a big plate of pan-fried white fish; or pho; or left-overs from the night before. I usually always drink herbal tea all day long. Life...It's like a candy pickle. :)
Haggis is delicious! Treacle is good for baking, nice on pancakes or ice cream or fruit, or you could eat it out of the tin with a spoon like my boyfriend does. You can use it as you would honey or maple syrup, but it has a slightly cooked, brown sugar-like flavour to it.
+WildFireWoo Ah, ha. Thanks for sharing. I'll have to pick up a tin and try it on pancakes. Mmm...
My Gran (Grandma) loves treacle with her porridge, actually.😅 But, I believe treacle is also used in a lot of traditional baking as a replacement of sugar.
Caramel wafer bars are the ultimate childhood throwback, always had them at my granny's house + pink wafers too! Love these videos.
A couple tips for you, Emmy.
Haggis can be found in the US. If you can't find any import shops or Scottish bakeries/butchers nearby like I have, there are some offerings to be found online. For tinned haggis, look for Stahly's or Caledonian Kitchen. For frozen, look for Ackroyd's Scottish Bakery. Ackroyd's also has an array of tasty treats, both savory and sweet, and will ship to your door.
The oatcakes, or oaties as they're often called, are very nice toasted in the oven and topped with black or red currant jelly or lemon curd, and perhaps a bit of clotted cream.
i love porridge or oatmeal for breakfast. i actually make mine from scratch...i add sliced banana, craisins, chopped apple, cinnamon, nutmeg and almond milk. delicious!
Tunnocks caramels are amazing, but their teacakes are even nicer! The "mallow" in the middle isn't like your typical chewy mallow, it's an extremely light, fluffy cream. Heavenly!
Porridge/oat person here. When it's summer I tend to have oats mixed with yogurt and in colder months just oats boiled with semi skimmed milk (great for the cold, windy island mornings). My brother in law has it the traditional way with salt, I don't.
Glad you enjoyed a wee taste of Scotland Emmy. Lovely video.
Don't worry Emmy,Lucky Tatties are also a mystery over here.The porridge is usually flavoured with salt.Raisins are red grapes,sultanas are white grapes.Treacle is a very thich dark version of molasses.
+david bradley Ha! I always thought sultanas were just big fatty raisins/grapes. I've always called the white grape raisins 'golden raisins.' The more you know. :)
:-]
maple brown sugar oatmeal with sliced banana and granola is what I like for a hearty breakfast. With a glass of Carnation Breakfast essentials. It holds me over until lunch.
In Scotland, it is traditional to have just salt to flavour your porridge, and the authentic stuff is made with water and mixed with a wooden stick called a spurtle.
You can get boxes of Edinburgh rock and it's available in all kinds of fruit flavours. I grew ! North East England and it's sold in a lot of retailers here too.
Tunnock's Caramel bars are also popular here, but they make a confection called tea cakes, which are even better. They have a crumbly biscuit base topped with a creamy whipped marshmallow and covered in a layer of chocolate. They were a childhood favourite of mine.
I love oat cakes and so does my cat Ziggy (she also likes crisps, salted popcorn and salt and vinegar flavour rice cakes) and if I ever buy any, I have to share with her. I always know if a snack is worth buying again if Ziggy likes it. :)
My friend went to Scotland and brought back that caramel bar. I loved it so much, I saved the wrapper to buy it online later.
Tunnoks caramel wafer ?
