TRADITIONAL SCOTTISH FOOD

[@Goutenberg]

I'm from Brazil and I'm going to Scotland this year. I can't wait to meet your country! It seems to be so beautiful and magical and your videos just make me get crazy about it.

[@louiserayner2343]

Been to Scotland 6 times as it’s my husband’s home country as well as other spots in the UK. I can say without hesitation Scotland has the best pub food. Love the Mac & Cheese. Plus haggis bites a must to try. All the best from Canada.

[@susangrande8142]

Here in the Great Plains of the U.S. (Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, Kansas, Texas), we grow and eat a lot of Angus beef. They’re very popular here.👍 Thanks, Scotland! 🤤

[@kaycox19]

Geez, you make me want to go to Scotland like today! From the middle of California, I say, wow!!

[@gremlingrove1130]

Oh I love a good venison! My dad stocked the freezer every year and it was our staple meat. You know, a lot of this food is really similar to what I grew up eating in Wisconsin.

[@Susannauna]

I had terrific haggis when I was there, and I have found in my recent trips there that it is on many more restaurant menus than in the past. Scottish food is fabulous, what with all the seafood and fish, cooked beautifully and with lovely sides. I am getting hungry just talking about it right now.

[@taylormesa]

Bothy in Glasgow and The Castle Tavern Inverness were two of my favorite meals during my visit to Scotland last summer. Great vlog looking forward to more, slanch!

[@DavidJosephGreen]

Really enjoyed this video--felt like I was watching the travel channel but more personal👍👍

[@tovahmarin7561]

I'm from America and you werent kidding! - portions ARE smaller there! I love it!!

[@slcRN1971]

Tovah Marin : good comment, 🙂, if only those portions were the standard here too. My husband and I either share a meal or take half of the food home. Good thing we like left-overs.

[@lindsayschilling8707]

Wow, looks delicious! When I was in Scotland, I had some of the best meals I have EVER eaten. Food was fabulous!

[@frostdragon978]

Hey what's up Shaun? You told me about 6 months ago, when i made my first vlog, that is was pretty good and you also asked me to check out your channel and see how it was, and that same day i subbed to your channel, i think your content is great! I love all of the places that you go and its fun to watch your adventures! Your doing great!!

[@MrDavidHowell]

Cant wait to get there and try out all the traditional food you have there!

[@peaceandlovelife007]

Thanks for showing this bc I was starting to wonder about Scottish cuisine. All that food looks delicious

[@louisadubickas]

So happy to come across a fellow Scottish youtuber! I'm from edinburgh but live in madrid now. Love your channel!

[@shaunvlog]

Ahh that's amazing - thanks for commenting. I love Madrid, really cool that you live there. There are so few Scottish KZbinrs but we are growing in number and have a nice wee community building. Check out the Wee Scottish Lass, Mr Gavin Bell, Dylan Groat, Beautycreep as well. Will check your channel out and hit subscribe:)

[@louisadubickas]

I'll definitely go check out the people you mentioned and I've subscribed to you. Us scots gotta stick together! LOL xxx

[@owlspiritreiki]

Scotland is so wholesome I love it

[@ginnyjollykidd]

When I finally visit Scotland, I want to order what you did at No. 11! That looks divine!

[@emilyyarbrough1512]

I love Angus beef. Grew up on it. We got it from a farmer that raised Angus cattle.

[@shellyheider6503]

Just catching up on your older videos, this food looks so yummy!

[@MrJking065]

Every Country show have a Shaun to be an ambassdore to explain the great things of their country.

[@Crazytesco]

if you're ever around the Dundee area, you should go to Arbroath and get an arbroath smokie. Or Clarks 24 Hour Bakery (Clarkies) in Dundee. The Angus/Dundee area is great for berries this time of year too!

[@Del-pp3gn]

Smokies are just phenomenal 👍

[@shaunvlog]

Hey Emily, I used to go to Arbroath quite a lot - will need to go back and vlog it. Thanks for commenting :)

[@CCTippers]

I’m Yorkshire born, Black Pudding, hand picked Mushrooms from the Yorkshire moors, all things I grew up loving. My daughter and her Scottish partner after a trip to visit his family recently brought back to Dorset some Scottish goodies I’ve never tried and I loved it! Scotch pie and Stornoway being my favourite. Yummy 😋

[@bakerfarmmama]

That song sounds like American Disco from the 70s 🤣

[@davidmacgregor5193]

When I was young I was brought up on Scottish comfort food like 'stovies' and 'tattie drottle'. My father worked in a whisky distillery. The distilleries bonded warehouse was guarded by geese, every Christmas the distillery gave my father one of their geese for our Christmas dinner. I remember giving him a hand plucking the goose before he hung it in the hallway for a couple of weeks to drain the blood and mature the meat. Great times.

[@lifesavrdwd]

#11 food looked just great, good thing I had already eaten before watching the video. Beautiful sunset, amazing, like you said. thanks for the video, Happy New Year!

[@shaunvlog]

thank you glad you liked it :)

[@Barclay1122]

Sticky toffee pudding is my favorite! The seafood at The Applecross Inn is very good. Haggis at Dean Brodies. Scallops at the Loch Ness Lodge!I could go on. The food in Scotland was as important as seeing the sights. Oh and the whisky too!

[@Kakibot]

Uh yeah people have annoyingly limited ideas of what Scottish food is like, and sometimes so judgemental about edible miracles like Haggis without ever trying it! Thanks for the vid!

[@connormclean8004]

A_Sensible_Young_Man So one thing was wrong does that discount everything else I said? You sound very angry for no real reason I know plenty about my own history and culture so dont start generalising and trying to play internet psychologist I'm just not well versed in food or culinary history because I have no interest in it.

[@Hunnenhorst]

I spent 4 weeks in Scotland in 2015 and I can not remember having bad food once. Ok, Haggis was a wee bit special but when I stopped thinking about what is in it it tasted really good.

[@patteel]

Maybe you could do a video about Scotland's native dogs ? I would love that. You could interview breeders and introduce the dogs and talk about their history. I promise you you will get a lot of views. Some of the dogs are the Scottish Deer hound, the West Highland Terrier, Skye Terrier, and a lot more.There are also few breeds of cattle and sheep. And one chicken breed and one cat breed. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Dog_breeds_originating_in_Scotland

[@FullaEels]

I'm not used to seeing our wee honest toun of musselburgh just pop up in videos ahaha. I'm glad you like it here. If you want a nice walk around the cost, cross the river esk to the east side ( just off the side of musselburgh high street next to the war memorial and the caprice) and follow the river north. You'll see a little building on the river mouth, just walk around it and keep going. You can follow that nice coastal path around to access the lagoons, but it also goes next to musselburgh race course and the golf course. another nice walk is down the grove, also handily next to the river esk. The easiest way to access the grove is to go up that steep hill next to musselburgh grammar and turn left until you see the mud path leading down to the river. another entrance is around behind the job centre, below the car bridge that leads into stoney bank and olive bank road. It's one of my favourite routes back through town on days when I want to avoid the school students. The grove is busier than i'd really like, but it's still nice to walk through.

[@TheLisa-Al-Gaib]

Omg, this made me SO hungry!! That food looked fantastic.

[@rtami61]

lololsounds like our 70's disco music lolol

[@Mamu633]

Thanks for showing the delicious looking food and lovely sunset. Especially delightful from a handsome man.

[@kimreese3530]

I ate a lot of seafood while in Scotland and everything was wonderful.

[@AlbaRecoil]

Grew up on mince and tatties, stovies, potted hough, and haggis. Best of gear 👍🏻.

[@MichelleRibeiro3]

Shaun, thank you for adding the links to the music. Fantastic stuff! I live in Vitoria but moving to London in September and your tips are greatly appreciated. :)

[@OGimouse1]

OMG, I have never been disappointed with Scottish food. And you can always find good food in Edinburgh!

[@mikkikas6821]

Spent a month in Scotland and the food was delicious!!❤ I didn't try the blood pudding but tried just a spoonful of haggis. Reminded me of liver paste or bronswager. Loved the oat cakes with a venison liver paste like spread. The salads were fresh field greens with sliced tomato. The mushroom soup at Eilean Donan castle was to die for! Ofcourse, the fish and chips were awesome, the meat pies and desserts! Very very good food!!❤🤗👍

[@joannawritersblock2674]

Excited to see this series of my two favorite things Scottish anything & food!

[@dotandme]

I absolutely love Scotland. My maiden name is McAlister‘s my DNA states 42% welsh Irish Scottish I lived in Scotland as a kid. And absolutely think it’s one of the most beautiful countries I’ve ever seen

[@guilhermeferrari7807]

Hello Shaun! I'm a brazilian lad who loves Scottish culture,old tales,accents and food! I hope to get the chance to visit Scotland someday,I just wanted to say that your channel is great! Do not ever stop posting, A bonnie channel is always a good reason to subscribe ;) cheers

[@watson956]

I saw Cullen Skink on the menu at #11 - my wife and I had *wonderful* bowls of Cullen Skink when we were on the Isle of Skye a number of years ago - still memorable!

[@jolynnberk9996]

The food looks amazing! And maybe not so different from all the different cuisines we have in the US. I wanted to reach through the screen for the haggis. Intriguing.

[@warrendavis9262]

Angus beef! Yay Scotland!!!

[@nickshepley2566]

You have good music in your videos and I enjoy learning about Scotland, through your videos

[@dannysflying]

YES please!! More good food/restaurant in Edinburgh! :))

[@rebekahhakeber5093]

I’m heading to London / Scotland December 6th ! Totally stoked. Here to see what I should eat!

[@billeeburkhart6630]

thank you for your help, I have always wanted to watch anything about Scottish food it looked amazing. I hope to visit scottland some day.

[@violetvalkyrie476]

Like your taste in music. It kinda reminded me of Earth, Wind and Fire.

[@chrisayers7957]

All of the dishes looked amazing!

[@funniestvines1326]

hey shaun I really like your 100 vlogs that you hit u subbed you and like most of those vlogs keep up the good work.

[@HerGraceLadyTeacup]

This is legitimately making me hungry. :D

[@ColieBear18]

I love Scottish food so much. I teased my dad that his venison steak needed to step it up and he told me to stay in Scotland. Oh dad, if only I could.

[@PoenariMoon]

Thank you for telling the names of the places you try! Can't wait to try them myself!

[@LizeBlake]

Never knew that Angus was actually a place in Scotland.. We have Angus beef burgers here in New Zealand as well so that's so interesting to learn a bit of history.

[@catherinedove7168]

I've eaten so much venison in my life, being from Montana(USA) that I would never order it in a restaurant but it looked like it was done perfectly.

[@mrsslibby6857]

Angus beef doesn’t just come from Scotland. Angus cattle are a breed that’s originally from Scotland but they have them all over now and are one of the most popular breeds of meat cattle.

[@DarkBrawlerLink]

I have to admit that I didn't have big expectations of Scottish food (or British food in general, talking about the island of Great Britain), but what you showed us in this video looks great. If someday I fulfill my dream of visiting Scotland, I'll definitely look forward to taste Scottish traditional food.

[@josebey7808]

Thanks!!!!.....I will love to visit Scotland someday. Love from Munich Germany.......

[@leslieharris2536]

That dessert looked amazing!

[@matt18m18]

I've never been to Scotland, but this makes me think of the menus in Prague. The left page is the list of meats you can eat. The right page is the list of sauces and gravies you can have with your meat. Delicious, but I would like a vegetable or two. At least you had some.

[@OGimouse1]

matt18m18 I have yet to eat in a restaurant (non-chippy) where the food doesn't come with some sort of vegetable. And he's not kidding when he says most things are local--most of the menus make a point of telling you where in Scotland the food is from. It is crazy delicious.

[@lazarustenebrae]

Looking forward to more Scottish food outings. Thanks so much!

[@Sootycork]

Next time you go to Musselburgh, make sure you go to the racecourse. It is fantastic and there is always a great crowd.

[@glendar1117]

Had a meal in no 11 in April lamb was great partner had fish they do a lovely cuppa tea too.

[@mdtaylor67]

Wow the Haggis looked delicious! Everything looked good! I’m debating a trip in February or March maybe...

[@theclanplus1]

In the southeast U.S. here. So basically my ancestors came from Scotland? My last name's from the Irish Lynch family.. but heck, I grew up on the stuff you ate in this video. Deer has to be hunted around here, and haggis can't be shipped into the country, but yes.. we deep fry most anything. I would still love to go through a menu in Scotland for the things I haven't had though!

[@lindsayschilling8707]

P.S. The Salmon in Scotland is to die for! If any of you viewers are planning a trip to Scotland, you MUST try fresh salmon. It is UNBELIEVABLE!!!

[@dmacisaac9382]

Cullen skink and Scotch broth are 2 of our favourites

[@jeanettesmith765]

As an American, I've had venison and sticky toffee pudding and liked both, but I have never tried haggis. Not sure where I can find it in Texas. Update: I just looked it up online, and they say the best haggis in Texas can be found at The Celt Irish Pub in McKinney north of Dallas. A little far for me to drive since I love south of Austin, but maybe I'll get up there to try it one day.

[@ghidorahs1fan209]

I never understood the Scott food being bad thing. My grandmother is Scottish she is a Dunnett from Dunnett (hope I spelt that right) and makes the best food in the world especially when it comes to sweets. I unfortunately have never been to Scotland as it costs a fortune to get there from Australia but I really want to go and my husband and I have actually been talking about moving our family to Scotland as his family are Scott's as well and the way Australia is going it's looking like a better life for us over there.

[@thecuriousguy1473]

I love every Scottish food

[@donnahall7384]

Had some awesome fresh haddock for my fish and chips experience in Oban on my trip to Scotland last yr.

[@nima.j.m]

I enjoyed watching Scottish foods they look very delicious, Thanks dude. I have also heard a lot about how much Scottish people are nice and kind. If you could find any chance please check out Iranian Foods Shaun. It's awesome!

[@polytheneprentiss1534]

I'm just eating your channel up! (pun intended) Love it!

[@amberwhite6121]

I only tried Scottish oatmeal and it was fantastic. It's different kind of oats then I'm use to but still very yummy. I tried more Irish foods cuz it's my heritage. But very open minded on trying new foods from other countries :)

[@rebeccaj5252]

After spending 8 days in Scotland and traveling all over, I never had a bad meal...the food was over the top delish. Not sure where the bad rap came from? The seafood was too die for and I live in New England, USA on the seacoast..favorite was Cullen Skink awesome.

[@sarahbrown5373]

I grew up on wild game, venison was my favourite.

[@sybariticcupboardrat3763]

Here's the thing. When we think of food from a country, we think of NATIVE food. Americans don't really have a lot of food we consider american, but we have a huge variety of food from other countries that we have americanized. Italian, chinese, mexican, and japanese are the big ones (and french for rich people), but the popularity of other types of food is rising in my generation (indian, korean, middle eastern, greek, brazillian, portugese, german, hungarian, vietnamese, thai, filipino). But we have hamburgers, french fries, steaks, roasts, pies, stews, and things that we consider kind of american food, but those of us with a tiny bit of awareness know it's european heritage. BBQ is a contentious subject on how to define it, but southerners will argue that their kind of BBQ is 'american'. It's hard to say what american food is because it's hard point at a food that started here. We're a country of immigrants with a small population of natives who survived. I'm white and completely ignorant of native american food culture (anyone who can get me in contact with native american cooking, omg please I love food). I've heard corndogs are an american invention, but no one's really sure about it. I'm not an expert, but I've heard that cajun and creole food is unique to the southern states of america (but I'm a northerner, so I'm not sure). So that was a long way of saying that people in america don't necessarily think that all the food available in Scotland is bad. We just don't know what quintessential Scottish food is particularly good. Haggis, scotch eggs, and fried food is all americans have heard (and they don't have a good reputation. though seriously, everywhere has fried food)

[@sarahwithanhyouheathen3210]

I want to eat everything i just saw on this vid! I am about to stow away on a ship to get to Scotland.

[@liammunro530]

you should try out this resteraunt near edinbrugh its called the linton hotel and steakhouse it's situated in east linton

My daughter is in Aberdeen right now. We're from the states.

[@InChristAlone830]

I noticed how small the portion sizes were. In America that is the size of most appetizers... Americans could really learn from you

[@wildrain8602]

Except the burgers in Scotland are huge

I am so far from an ocean I don't go it would take a couple days to drive there but I am in the high dessert of New Mexico

[@soldieroffreedom9640]

Hello, Sir, I am a prep cook here in America. I would love to learn how to make Scottish food. I work a lot with Angus beef, personally, I love the beef, such a good flavor. But my favorite cooking is barbecue on an open flame.

[@EverythingNice4Dolls]

I hope that I get to go to Scotland someday.

Thank you Shaun... now I'm hungry... good job

[@jamesthe-doctor8981]

In America, a good deal of Scottish cuisine's dismal reputation comes from Scots. Take former late night TV talk show host, Craig Ferguson, for one example. He said one of the funniest things I've ever heard one night, and it was about the food in Scotland. When asked what Scottish food is like, he adopted a pained expression on his face and replied in that thick, heavy accent: "Oh, Scottish food tastes like disappointment and gravel." :-D But fortunately, between television networks we have, such as Food Network, Cooking Channel, and Travel Channel, usually provide unbiased opinions on new and traditional cuisine. What excites me most (I'm what we Americans refer to as a "foodie) about food in Scotland is what some of the newer, younger, Scottish chefs who have graduated from culinary school are doing in places on or very near old fishing towns and communities. Many of these new chefs are choosing to cook with locally sourced and sustainable seafood and creating new dishes by fusing traditional Scottish fare with French technique. Most of it looks amazing, and some of it has been earning Michelin stars!

[@RicardoJunqueira]

Hey Shaun! Where are you getting all these great sound tracks to use on the vlog? Are they royalty free?

[@RicardoJunqueira]

Nevermind. I just saw the links on the description box. Gonna do my own research. Thank ya!

[@shaunvlog]

yea man, just go to soundcloud, find an artist and music you like, ask them for permission to use :) Most new artists like the exposure

[@erinmarkley11]

Oh my lord....Im starvong now lol

[@willneverforgets3341]

Scotland tons of good produce but often ends up exported... Looks like they are finally learning how to take advantage. Well done!

[@hbradar1]

Hi Shaun, where was the food on that steak plate. Certainly not Mother's Restaurant. Thanks Radar

[@grahamd1318]

Great video, but I don't think even you appreciates how good Scottish food is. My family is from Caithness, and we went there every year for summer Hols....Just get over the border from England and the standard of food exponentially increases. Get sausages from a Scottish butcher and you'll never eat any other. Try haggis and chips in Fife with my cousins. Just amazing.

[@dragnfly138]

My Haggis was amazing. Really buttery. Had it stuffed in chicken breast at the Glen in Carrendale

[@MistressQueenBee]
