Oh man , the water is Scotland is the best tasting ever.
Especially if you put whiskey in it...
@@paulritchie5868 how dare you dilute the necter of the gods
IKR irn bru is
great
You've got to be kidding. Scottish tap water tastes like iron.
@@geraudbroussaud894 depends where your drinking it fay. Big citys it tastes pish. But up in the higlands its yhe purest you'll ever get.
Can’t believe you didn’t like Scottish water - it’s all from the mountains and tastes amazing
Cameron Alexander I agree, It is the best. I did a video on my channel on how good the water is in Italy, and people still drink bottled water, unbelievable.
Also, bottled water in a region where tap water is save to drink?
Yes, Cameron, Scottish water is fresh and tasty. Can’t stand bland bottled water. Fresh is best.
I agree! The tap water from Inverness was probably the best tasting water I have ever had.
Actually, nowadays Scottish water tastes like shit. I live near Glasgow, and I caught H Pylori from my supply.
"Scottish water might not taste so good" I BEG YOUR PARDON!
Yeah when I moved up hear from London. The difference in the quality of water was immense.
It's far better up here.
Apparently the best/cleanest water from source, (faucet) is from Glasgow. Family from Fyfe used to take empty bottles of water to fill and take back home when they were through. Said the water was less metallic.
I know I baulked at that statement.. our water is lovely to drink, compared to when I lived in England
@@deanj.w.ferris123 Ayrshire has some of the cleanest water in the uk Glad to say I have it on tap!
Dean J. W. Ferris The Highlands have the best. Straight from the hills.
I BEG YOUR PARDON GOOD SIR....the water in Scotland is not good?! It's fresh, soft water from mountains....it doesn't get any better than that! (especially for a cup of tea).
Congrats on being the first American I've ever heard pronounce 'Edinburgh' correctly. Bravo sir! :)
War machine says it correctly in endgame.
@@dsmyify I haven't seen it.. thanks for the info though.
Bravo
I was in Scotland 18 months ago, and I have to totally agree did not have a bad meal the whole week. I also dove into the local places and food, stayed away from all the big chain fast food places. Lived the culture all the way.
Feeling a little triggered by the claim Scottish water doesn’t taste great. The tap water here is the stuff of legend
I think you mean council juice
Scottish tap water - it's free! And it's amazing, don't listen to Mark.
Marc .Jameson Marc, I totally agree, The water is amazing. I started my travel channel Because I want to help people travel smarter. Buying bottled water when the water is free and completely good to drink is one of those things that I talk about on my channel. You can save a lot of money by not buying bottled water. Good point.
@@nessymonster Hi Ronnie, I have a travel channel also and would love it if you subscribed to my channel. I have great tips to share. I hope you will join me:)
I know from experience visiting Elgin in the north of Scotland in the 1970s that the water is excellent. The first time I tried it I overdosed on water because it tasted so good. It helps explain things to note that this is near where many of the whisky distilleries are located.
Please get your facts right , our scottish water to our house is not free , we are metered and costs us about 120 pounds a quarter , i assume we are not alone in having this bill!
@@raymarshall1770 water is free the infastructures not
I love how at the start he’s like “scotland has good food” like it’s surprising
Exactly. He's a bit condescending. Typical American
@@caffhan It's because you people eat your enemies
Wee bit offended by the lack of a square sausage in the supposed "full scottish breakfast"
Aye came on to say that. It's nae a full Scottish without Lorne. And is that a poached egg!? Boak.
Good shout my good sir
N that wasnt even a tottie scone it was fried bread 😂
@@WaltOGrams What's so bad about a poached egg lmao
A couple of additional things you have to try when you visit scotland:
* Cullen skink
* Cranachan
* Loch fyne scallops (and any seafood really)
* Gin - there are so many different gins here! They are so good!
*bridie
Kym Hannah Cullen skink is amazing
A Forfar bridie is a must!
Stuart Robertson The first thing I look for is Cullen skink, delicious smoked haddock soup.
@@DJN881 Love it but so many restaurants ruin it by blending it up and adding loads of cream.
Cullen Skink is amazing! I have to say the water in Scotland is AMAZING! I have well water here in the states so I am very spoiled. When I travel I usually drink bottled water because I can’t stand the taste of public water. I am definitely a water snob! The only time I had bottled water was in our hotel and I didn’t like it 😂. The water is great.
Y'know when you see a list of stuff that we eat here in Scotland it's a minor miracle we're not all dead - but I tell you something I couldn't live without lorne, Irn-Bru, Tunnocks, killie pies etc!
Never seen killie pies except at aldi. And those looked suspicious ;) Also my AirBnB didn't have a microwave.
Say aye to a killie pie 😁
Shame the Bru has been butcherd th-cam.com/video/z_4aA7sf9WU/w-d-xo.html
@@Zenbloke good old full ass sugar irn bru back in shops now, get it while it lasts 👍
I can't believe you never mentioned a roll and square sausage. You haven't lived until you've had that. Btw, Scottish water is the best in the world
Go to Tasmania.
Scottish water is the best water I have ever tasted.
Akash kumar parida yeah I know, he probably stayed in an old style building with old pipes
Im scottish and seing this list of food and drinks and no Buckfast has honestly left me scunnert.
Am no impressed at all sir.
No buckfast and he's complaining about the water. Boy definitely punts Avon
His maw punts council to pay his Christmas n school lunch fees
His grans sells fake regal and macaroon roon the back ae the mecca bingo
Buckfast is English and its vile and should be kept in England.
He didny like irn bru either 🤔
That photo was not of a Scotch Pie. It looked like an English pork pie.
As a scotch pie aficionado that was not a scotch pie..
I'm English and I love Scottish food - you might get a better respoonse if you ask for a Scotch Pie as opposed to a Scottish one, they have a different type of pastry.
Haggis is marvellous, best deep fried from the chippy.
Square (or Lorne) Sausages are great too. And wash it down with plenty of Irn Bru, great drink
Yes! I'm English but Scottish food is amazing, and a lot of it definitely appears in my diet year round
Yup, Scotch pies (sometimes called mince pies . Don't ask for a mince pie in England lest you get a pie with mince in it ) use a cold water pastry and are filled with an oatmealy stuff.
Never heard of Scottish pies, though I suspect the wee counter lassie will know what you mean.
Glad u said that according to most English people lol they think that Scottish are same as English people have own meals
Thank you for giving venison a passing mention! Don't forget to try pheasant, partridge, mallard, snipe and woodcock as well. It's important that the gravy is made from the natural meat juices from the roasting, and not synthetic gravy out of a packet. If you visit Aberdeenshire, you need to try butteries/rowies
So glad you enjoy yourself. Us Scots welcome everyone to our country. 🏴🏴 we are happy to have you.
Did you just say “the water don’t taste so good”? Did you drink it out a toilet cause our waters some of the best and cleanest in the world
I'm glad to hear people from other Country's talking good about Scottish food that makes me quite happy ☺
I can attest that restaurants in small villages will run out of food and there will be nothing but tea and coffee left. I think it's because there is only fresh food used as opposed to the freezer full of preserved stuff we get in the US.
Had haggis for breakfast every morning for breakfast 2 months ago when we were in Scotland. It is wonderful!
If it's fresh it's great. Warmed up i am not a fan ;)
I love that you can pronounce Edinburgh!!!
Impressed me anaw. Too used to hearing "Edinborrow"
I always teach the Americans to say, ed-in-bruh they usually get it 🤣
If you want to combine some Scottish beer and food for not a lot of money, The Beer Kitchen on Lothian Road in Edinburgh is worth it. Within the Scottish craft beer scene Innis & Gunn isn't highly regarded but I do like their Beer Kitchens.
Best breakfast item you missed off was lorne sausage or square sausage, in particular the beef one. Far better than link, a bread roll with square, tattie scone and brown sauce with a can of Irn Bru will sort you out.
No one will say 'Scottish pie', it's a Scotch pie (might seem like a subtle difference), they're mutton based and you can get some pretty horrible dry ones but worth trying from a baker or butcher hot.
Sticky toffee pudding is a standard and is good, but you should also make a point of trying cranachan.
Irn bru, square sausage, tattie scones, anything from tunnocks, haggis suppers,tablet..... Yeah try that lot 😁
Cannot be beat..
No the Bru no more since they ruined it th-cam.com/video/z_4aA7sf9WU/w-d-xo.html
The Fish and Chips at the Worlds end pub in Edinburgh. OMG. I only had 3 fish and chips in the 36 days we were in the UK. This one was the most amazing Fish and ships ever.
We tried haggis and liked it. Travel without the local food is like swimming without water.
The water where I'm from in Scotland is amazing. I live in a small town and the water comes from a local loch. So refreshing.
Great video I really enjoy the content!
Love this video I’m from Scotland and great to see you trying and loving everything
Scotland is up there with Switzerland for outstanding natural water quality and taste!
Seafood and game are where it's at with top end Scottish cuisine.
Our Venison, Grouse and Pheasant! Amazing!
Our salmon is outstanding - our scallops, mussels and oysters are also unbeatable! We also have loads of different types of edible mushrooms that taste wonderful. Oh, and Aberdeen angus beef!
And yes, Haggis is delicious!
For fast food, yeh we deep fry alot of stuff. The best pies, in my opinion - your scotch pie is usually mutton mince - I like a mince and skirlie pie with toasted oatmeal on the top of the mince. Forfar Bridies are a must - Abroath smokies (smoked kippers) are delicious. And then there's Stovies! Stovies are great! :P
As for tipping? I'd say 10% is the base tip for standard service. 15% for good service and 20% if it's really good.
Glasgow, go anywhere in the west end and you'll probably be good! Ashton lane and places near Kelvingrove park.
I'd say Glasgow and Perth are your real 'foodie' cities (I live in Perth, theres only about 40,000 in the city, and just off the top of my head we have Dean's, Café Tabou, Café Breizh and Cardos - Perth seems to do French, medditeranian or contemporary scottish).
Rocpool, in Inverness is a must visit. The Loch fyne Oyster bar, near Inveraray on the road to Oban . . . The Ubiquitous chip in Glasgow, any of the restaurants at gleneagles . . . The three chimneys in Skye is famous aswell.
Some of the best pizza to be had outside of Italy can be found in Stirling (Napizza)
Yeh - Scotland does good food!
I'm from perth too :D
@@savagegoose5124 you agree then, yes?
Perth is a great 'foodie' city despite it's small size.
@@anthonyholroyd5359 yes, for the size there are a lot of restaurants and good places go eat
Forgot about the italian region of Stirling, must go there soon
Very well done Sir. Well narrated and good photos. 🙂 Thank you.
"Fried pizza" .. "fried Mars bar".
Yes, in Scotland, we fry _everything_ :D
The "fried butter bar" still takes the cake ;)
@@armaniwelch9225 At least the scots have something to be proud of :D
Pizza crunch...mmmmm
@@armaniwelch9225 nah we dinny pal
@@peterpain6625 shut yer hole ya fucking wepon
Coming in late to tell you my favorite Scottish food: Cullen skink, a delicious smoked haddock soup. Just wonderful.
Was in Edinburgh last month. All the locals said that the Indian restaurants in Scotland were the best foods you can eat there.
The first time I had Indian food was in London. Tasted amazing but it also got me among the sickest I've ever been from food. That's even worse when travelling abroad. Not dissing Indian food cuz I got back into it a few years ago and I am addicted to buttered chicken and naan. No GI issues since that very 1st time
Scottish water is the best! What on earth are you thinking?!
Hi. I'm Scottish and live just outside of Edinburgh. It's great to watch and hear your reviews on my country. Hope you and your family enjoyed your stay and hope you come back =) 🏴 .
The food looks a delicious. Thank you for the information.
Walter what another great video you’ve made on Scotland thank you sir you truly have covered everything in my country! I hope tourists from all over the world find this video useful
Agree. And his name is Mark. Wolters is his last name
Wow. So much great information thank you so much!
Something you should try next time in Scotland is Cranachan (Whipped cream, whisky, honey, raspberries, oatmeal), enjoy!!
When there in April this year, had haggis potato chips and haggis pizza. Yum!
Love Scottish food. Thanks for reminding me. Ah.....
Thanks! Super informative video!
Regarding tipping in a bar, in Scotland, if you are going out for a night of drinking we do a thing where we don't tip all night until the last drink you buy of the night, and we'll say to the bar staff "and get one for yourself", now this doesn't mean that the bar staff buys a shot of whisky and downs it, what they do is they take a cash amount from your change equal to the cost of one drink. Over the course of a night's drinking, it effectively works out at a 5-10% tip depending on how much you drink.
I love all the specifics... now I want to try the porridge!
Why do I smile When your channel comes on
Awesome video! We will visit Scotland in March. This is very helpful on what to eat! Thank you!
Hey I'm from Scotland and he missed out square sausage roll :) I'm moving to Canada in April and the things I'm really going to miss are Haggis, tunnics tea cakes, irn bru, tattie scones and tablet! Our tap water also tastes better than most places I don't really know what he means :)
Most things were spot on in the vid. Ignore the water thing. Water in the UK tends to be purer the further north you go. Even in scotland, I've found the water in the north is nicer than the central belt
Enjoy your visit 🏴
Be sure and try CRANACHAN for dessert!
Also try Millionaire's shortbread and all the other treats in a good Scottish bakery.
Thank You For Your Video On The Food To Eat💚💚💚💚
I love your content, very good
Thanks for this guide
I love Scotland! Beautiful mauntains and down to earth people! 1:28 Many countries have variations of "Black pudding" - Scotland, England and Ireland, but also in Spain (the Basque) and the Bulgarians (called "Kurvavitsa") and perhaps even more countries I do not know yet . Actually I am sure the English got it from the Scots and Irish 😆 It's not so "scary" to accept it- in the past people were more careful not to waste food.
Glad you enjoyed your stay :)
Whiskey Tours sound great! And the food looks delicious.
If you come to Scotland and don't try Sticky Toffee Pudding you are really missing out!
Watching this makes us realise how 'healthy' all of our national dishes are 😂
Scotland, North West England, and North Wales all have lovely soft water!
I LOVE Scottish food! Tablet, sticky toffee pudding, haggis, all of it! My kids often ask to have Scottish breakfast, so I’ll add some salmon because we can’t find the sausages here in Luxembourg.
Hey mark, great video. You should come and check out the Galloway region when your here in the south west. It’s beautiful. A nice change from the highlands, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Haggis is awesome... was one of my favorite foods from my visit 5 years ago.
Great upload, SO glad its not Edin BURG! Spot on my friend.
Also highly recommend Scott’s, it’s a restaurant chain you can find every so often cause it’s not to common, one by the sea somewhere which is lovely
I love Haggis! I even bought a few canned ones to take back home.
Edinburgh is in my opinion in a league all its own, amazing city
Not as good as Glesga.
Sticky toffee pudding is delicious. Brew dog beer/lager/ipa is great. Tomintoul whisky is a underrated whisky to try.
Shortbread cookies! Yeeees! My Scottish colleague brought those to work the other day and they were gone in 5 seconds.
omg! I love the sausage rolls.
If you’re in the north East a must is Cullen Skink. A yummy soup!
Great video man keep up the great work. Do they have Glühwein in Schottland. I know you’re a fan
I've seen it at the Christmas markets in glasgow and Edinburgh before, well I could smell it first before I saw it 😁
@@andrewjohnston4127 No gluhwein but plenty of buckle (Buckfast tonic wine). Even more sickly sweet and stronger. Actually made in England much much loved by Alkies in Scotland.
@@eckyhen I know what Buckie is lol I live in easterhouse 😂
@@andrewjohnston4127 OK, Respect anyone from Easterhouse. Info. was for foreigners who may not have heard of our other, other national tipple.
Scottish water is amazing!!
Ooh, glad you got tablet on there! I grew up in Aberdeen and loved having butteries (a kind of flat croissant made with lard) and macaroni cheese pies. I miss them so much, I get my friends to bring these back when they go!
Lisa Grabowski I’m from Glasgow and you don’t get butteries, they are one of favourite things ever.
Rowies.. heart attack food but soooo good! Proper winter food up this way.. a plate of broth & then stovies & oatcakes! I love living in Aberdeen!
@@zoer144 Oooh! Stovies! Yes, Yes, Yes!!
Nice work Mark,
I’m a master butcher with a shop in Aberdeenshire and we make all of our own haggis, black pudding, white puddings etc by hand & they are all still very popular!
Have to get you to try some of our potted head sometime!👍😊
If black pudding's blood, and white pudding's fat, what the hell is red pudding?
My Grandpa was the manager at the Coop 40 odd years ago. Used to come home on a Friday with a butchers parcel. Steak , pork, pies, lamb, tripe, sausages, ham, chicken, spiced beef, corned beef, liver, kidneys and potted head. My granny loved potted head. Could never manage potted head myself. Happy days!
Ian Leishman
It’s a 50/50 mix of pork & beef with a big dash of red coloured sausage seasoning!👍
@@oggie1967 Cheers m8. My usual order from the chippy is single smoke sausage and white pudding supper. Find it goes down easier than the other 2.What the hell's potted head? My father in law down here in Fife makes potted hoch at New year. Don't know what the hell that is either.
Ian Leishman
I still make it but it’s potted meat now since the BSE thing!
It’s just boiling beef cooked down till it falls to bits, salt, pepper, beef bouillon, water & some gelatin to set it!
Bash up the beef with a spud masher and add back to the liquid and stir & decant into tubs to cool!
My granny came from Fife & she made potted Hough using shin of beef & a marrow bone to set it! Same thing but different method!👍
Hey So I am back living n Edinburgh. Just a reminder that Edinburgh does have other restaurants but anyway if you are in Scotland try Lorn/ sliced/ square sausage, Red Kola and Cranachan...a tasty desert. There is Cullen Skink, Arbroath Smokies and Rowerie. Forfar Bridies and losts of tasty soft fruits...like raspberries and Strawberries.
Oh and if you get a chance, try some of the produce from local bakeries...some of it stodgy but definite comfort food.
Irn Bru is not an acquired taste it's amazing full stop.
Its Tizer meets Lucozade. Horrible.
It used to be amazing till they fucked with it th-cam.com/video/z_4aA7sf9WU/w-d-xo.html
I loved Edinburgh! The Fiddler's Arms in the Grassmarket has a great dish with haggis on chicken. Haggis is good on jacket potatoes too
Best water on earth, And that ain't a scotch pie that's a pork pie and i dunno any Scottish person that's ever had a fried mars bar! That's just for foreigners, But a fried pizza is pretty normal or a pizza crunch (pizza in batter) it's just brilliant, and have no idea how a roll n bacon is a weird thing that's pretty standard lol Also any pub that sells booze and food kids can go fine a bar thats only for drinking thats different.
A friend and I ate at a hotel in Moffat. We got there right at the start of service, ordered, and the doors to the kitchen hadn’t stopped swinging before our food was brought out. We were in awe. It took only the time needed to get it on the plates.
Darren Jones Moffat is a great wee toon 👍🏼
By the way, they do have McSween's vegetarian haggis as well if you're unsure about trying the real thing. I'm not a fan of haggis either way, but hopefully it's helpful to some of you. You can also get it deep fried in batter in the chippy as well.
go to a chip shop and try deep fried pizza and chips its sooo good
You can all ways spot a tourist when in the chippy. When they ask for something with chips. Here it's called a supper. i.e. Fish supper or pizza supper
Sticky toffee pudding is absolutely brilliant
Oooh venison bangers & mash was so good in the highlands!
Good video as always!! Just one correction, our water out the tap, is brilliant some of the best in the world!!
Its been several decades but I recall the food in Scotland as being quite good. Nothing fancy, but easy to find a nicely done steak, with potatoes, the usual veggies. Very easy for the American palate.
Irn Bru is depressing now they've removed the sugar. Thank god for the 1901 edition.
Edit: that full scottish is an embarrassment.
Thanks for another great travel video. For once, only once...I want to hear you say the local beer is not good 😂😂
Haggis - you must use the whiskey gravy. As a SoCal native, I feel a but of hot sauce (Sriracha, Cholula, etc) would take it over the top and a few others agreed with me. Irn Bru (the national non-alcoholic drink of Scotland) and a packet of crisps. Spot on about having local beers. Besides whiskeys, there is also gin with a variety of types and gin distillery tours. A nice G&T always goes down well. Heck I went up to the top of Arthur's Seat on a couple of Scottish beers and a couple of Scotch whiskeys, and a Coke.
Just want to join everyone in defending our water but I'm glad you enjoyed Scotland so much. The deep fried Mars bar..... no-one in Scotland would actually eat it but it' s always there for the tourists. Got to try it once, but only once.
As someone from the upper Midwestern US, it’s bewildering to me that anybody would be afraid of eating wild game meat.
Venison, better than beef, leaner, more flavour; rabbit (wtf does no one eat it anymore) fresh lobster, crab, scallops, mussels, Arbroath smokies. So much amazing food you can get in Scotland.
Depends where in Scotland you are whether your tap water tastes OK. You can go 10 miles elsewhere where the water comes from a different source and doesn't have fluoride in it. A water filter can sort that out.
Water in Scotland is GORGEOUS
The Castle has an excellent tea
Great video but lil pointer Scotland has some of the purest water in the world.
In Edinburgh we have Pizza Geeks, they've got a pizza called Braveheart, it has haggis and black pudding on it. (not just haggis and black pudding)
Fried pizza sounds right up my alley!
it's honestly amazing, I'm not gonna lie hahaha.
My autistic uncle loves the Walkers.When I went to his house,he shared the Walkers.I tasted it,really good 😍💖💖💖
I love Scottish food and Scottish candy is my favourite, I live in US still always order Caramel from UK test really different.
Sticky toffee pudding .... Yyaaassss! Totally agree!
Arbroath Smokies,Forfar Bridies and Stovies all Scottish delicacies too.
I was delighted to find IrnBru at Wegmans when I came home from Scotland. I think it tastes wretched but my kid loves it. Will have to get a $3 for his stocking this year. Ugh.
Vegetarian haggis is so good there if you don’t eat meat. The baked potato and mashed potato small take away a are very good fast food in Edinburgh. But my favorite thing in Scotland was halloumi fries!!
Thanks
Some of the best food I've eaten in Europe, I've eaten in Scotland
