Scotland on a plate

Any visitor to Scotland will discover the hospitality of this beautiful country. And excellent hospitality is associated with excellent food. The islands, hills and river of Scotland produce abundant fish and meat and the water is one of the secret ingredients in its malt whiskies. And, of course, a bowl of hot porridge (avena para mezclar con leche) in the morning will help you prepare for the unpredictable weather. 

 

The Noble Haggis

If your friends have a sense of humour, why not buy them a haggis instead? This is a traditional delicacy made from sheep’s offal (asaduras de oveja) and oatmeal. All the ingredients are put in a sheep’s stomach and boiled.(hervido) It is the principal dish for a Burn’s Supper in honour of Scotland’s national poet, Robert Burns. He wrote the poem Address to a Haggis, which associated the Haggis with Scottish nationalism. One of the guests (invitados) has to recite this poem and cut open (abrir haciendo un corte) the Haggis at the appropriate line of the poem. You will love or hate the taste,(sabor) but you will not be indifferent to it!

     

Aberdeen Angus Beef

You will be pleased to know that you will also find many other cuts of meat, including beef from Aberdeen Angus cows. You will see this distinctive breed (raza) with a black coat (pelaje negro) when you travel in the Scottish countryside. Top chefs say that Aberdeen Angus produces the best steaks.(bistecs) There is only one way to discover if they are right: order (pide) one after your smoked salmon. You will not be disappointed!(decepcionado)
