Owls, Haggis-Throwing, and the Highland Games: MUNCHIES Guide to Scotland (Episode 5)

Charlet ends her Scottish food odyssey in Aberdeen, otherwise known as the “Oil Capital of Europe”, where a group of young rig workers take her for a big, jelly shot-based night out on the town before she heads to the Highland Games the next morning. Negotiating what is ostensibly the Scottish Olympics with a hangover is a daunting prospect, but all the haggis-throwing, Aberdeen Angus burgers, highland dancing, cullen skink and making friends with owls called Winky soon sets her right.

Charlet has really grown on me. She's probably my favourite Vice presenter now. Really unpretentious, honest and fun. Great series.

[@Qodesh00]

Whaaaat...? I've been watching all these episodes thinking Charlet is a pretty easy going chick and then I see all this hate in the comments?! Dafuqqq? How many journalists do you know that would stay out drinking all night and then go to a festival hungover? She's fucking awesome.

[@BigBlack81]

+Qodesh00 And somewhat courageous to do that because she was up with Scots trying to keep up, even as an Englishwoman. Good on her for that, the attempt anyway.

Not sure whats with the hate against Charlet, I personally think she's quite funny. More documentarys like this please!

[@emalinel]

I think there was some controversy on a previous documentary she made on vice. I don't know too much about it either and I think Charlett is not too bad :)

[@CuteCatFaith]

I guess ... they don't like female personality??? I do.

[@emalinel]

Lol. Yea she's pretty real in this series. Tbh, sometimes she acts like a ditz when she's on the bar scene (which is not surprising, most people are not always flattering when influenced by alcohol) but then she asks some pretty insightful questions sometimes and looks like she sincerely cares about the culture she's exploring.

[@YorickReturns]

Most Vice viewers are misogynistic, racist fucks, that's why

[@ryanime20]

Emaline L. What was insightful? I just watched a blonde whining about eating junk food. Its kind of sad watching this cause when you understand the culture and you understand the food. But she is... "ooo carbs"

[@Zanfrea]

As a Scottish person living in Glasgow, I think Charlet has done a brilliant job in portraying Scotland and I don't see why she's getting grief for her good work!

She needs her own show!

[@CuteCatFaith]

She reminds me a bit of a Sarah Wiener series about food on French public TV recently. She's from Austria and speaks adequate French. She went around the country in a VW and spent days in places, learning dishes, throwing her own pots for the cooking, my picky Parisian spouse actually insisted we watch. I liked it, and some was pretty intense. Watching the kugelhopf nutty lady baker who deals with it as exact science was wild! (Actually, that episode helped me be more serious about my own kugelhopf!) I like Charlet just fine. I call her Legs.

[@themarlboromandalorian]

I'd watch it. These videos have such a Wes Anderson vibe.

[@tokiburoak7457]

Unfortunately Vice hate white people.

[@grimeyx]

I live in Scotland. But I'm English. It was fun to watch this series. Learned a lot about the place I've lived in for 17 years. Presenter was open minded and seemed to enjoy her time here.

[@JMcDonaghVideo]

I am so madly in love with Charlet, it's insane.

[@EJ-ov4kw]

As young, adventurous and funny as she is, there's a very regal, innocent, purity to her personality. You never know what sort reaction you'll get out of her, which makes her all the more exciting. She goes from sweetheart to smart ass with so much grace lol.

[@bluecactus11]

I think Charlet was super funny and made this series very enjoyable to watch. For those who are hating on her just don't appreciate her style which is different but ultimately authentic.

[@lazio4everinmyheart]

just binge watched the entire series in one go just for Charlet

[@ksx4system]

did exactly the same :D

[@getdowndou]

Charlet is such a great host, I hope to see her back for more episodes in the future.

This is what happens when you meet up with a bunch of young Scottish oil rig workers for a night out on the town: lots of shots and a raging hangover the next day at the Highland Games (essentially the Scottish Olympics).

[@inurafacititia7352]

Actually, I met several on my trip to Stornoway taking their time off. They weren't the hard-drinkers, bar guys... They were family men going home after 8 weeks away from their family. So don't give me this silly drunken sailor crap from the 1800s. These are family men who do one of the hardest jobs in the World - and they do so for their families.

[@Lee-ct8hq]

Ian L A

[@BloodyBay]

+Ian L Too right! I'd guess that Scottish oil workers are just like all the oil workers we have here in Texas: Their duty day comes up, they pack their bags and head out to the rigs and the oil fields, they're out there for several months, then they cycle out and half of them go right back home to spend quality time with their families, the other half head right for the bars and strip clubs. I'm an Uber driver in Tyler, and I've driven the latter around the city several times. Props to those guys for taking Uber, Lyft or a Tyler Cab because they have the good sense to drink responsibly, and I have yet to see one of them spew his guts inside my car, but I stock my car with vomit bags, disinfectant and plenty of pure water just in case. I've only driven a few of the "family man" type of oil workers around town, and they've always been with their wives or girlfriends, or maybe a friend or two, but never any kids. They always seem to go to the swanky restaurants too, like the Shogun Japanese hibachi restaurant on Broadway. I'm not sure why they never bring any kids along, but being out and about after dark probably has something to do with it. It's great that the oil workers -- party guys and family guys alike -- always tip big, too...mostly twenties, sometimes a fifty, and I have yet to see anything under a ten. Last New Year's night, I was basically the chauffeur for two oil guys who had me keep the proverbial meter running for about two and a quarter hours while I drove them around to one bar, then another, and finally to a strip club. They handed me a $100 bill after I dropped them off at their motel room (on top of their $72 fare, $54 of which went to me), which _really_ made my night! So they make great money in the oil industry, but like you said, the work gets pretty rough. Different people have different ways of blowing off that stress, I reckon.

+Jason_Bourne You had two choices: 1) Explain the cameraman's approach to conducting his craft. With the result of possibly receiving the thanks of +Swifty87. Or 2) Insult +Swifty87 and conduct yourself in a way that reflected poorly upon your character. You decided to select the second option. Perhaps you should learn from this and be more restrained before insulting others. You're capable of better decisions.
