    The Scott's are great practical jokers. They invented golf, haggis the loch ness monster and the bag pipes just to fuck with everyone. I swear the only thing they take seriously is alcohol.

      Well, they're pretty serious about fried food, also pies. Coronary heart disease.

        I was thinking of things unique to the Scott's, like good whisky.

          Well, the Irish and Japanese would like a word about decent whisky, but I take your point. Scotch pies are their own thing, sort of. Just fyi, it's Scots, not Scotts.

    You know what works quite well, surprisingly? A "Scotsman" pizza - haggis, black pudding and goat's cheese on a stone-baked pizza. Sits on the stomach like an anvil, but that's the price of entry...

    You know what works quite well, surprisingly? A "Scotsman" pizza - haggis, black pudding and goat's cheese on a stone-baked pizza. Sits on the stomach like an anvil, but that's the price of entry to Scottish cuisine. I think that was actually written on a sign at the border before it blew over.

    Cool history, but just about every animal-consuming culture on Earth has a blood sausage tradition.

      Haggis is more of an offal dish than a blood one. Scotland does a decent line in black pudding too though.
