Food & Drink Local Delicacies

i have always found that with haggis if you catch it youself it tastes so much better.

 

If you get to them in the right season, sometimes you find a few of the scotch eggs they've laid. Delicious

 

Oh my god, real bacon! I want some!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Real bacon is the norm over here Hells_Bliss. We call the stuff you guys eat "streaky bacon" and it's only really used on burgers and suchlike.

 

I know, I'm from Australia where we also have real normal bacon, not the fried crispy crap they pass off as bacon here.

 

cant beat a nice bacon bun

go a little further and mix it up a bit, be adventerous and use tomato sauce instead of brown.

 

I think that in the US if you want (what we think of as) real bacon you have to ask for Canadian bacon.

You're all making me hungry though - I may have to go & make a bacon sarnie!

 

Now thats what im talking about!!

 

The French gourmet in me shivers at the mere sight of these meals...
BUT, the Scots DO have Millionaire's shortbread....mmmmmh

And of course let's not forget fish and chips !

No pics of anything yet, me and my granny (from Réunion island) have cooked a "rougail saucisse" today, some kind of smoked sausages in a tomato/onion/spices sauce, eaten with rice. THAT's tasty ! may get a pic tomorrow.

 

aswell as the millionaires shortbread scotland also have the whole tunnocks range of teacakes,snowballs and the caramel wafer thingys http://www.tunnock.co.uk/index2.htm

 

g3n3tiX, you are evil!

I've been a good girl since the beginning of April, but you're making it really difficult. I <3 shortbread soooo much. Add chocolate onto it and I'm smitten (especially once per month).

 

nah, canadian bacon is just the eye and it's much thicker, more like a steak. Plus it's still way way too fatty compared to some UK NZ or Aussie bacon.

damnit, somebody give me 1500USD so I can fly home

 

Behold, the miracle of custom bacon!
