I fell in love with the deep fried university cafe when I saw it in the TV show. I can't wait to go to Edinburgh!

Originally posted by huckleberryhoundI don't like piss, I prefer food. However, I am serious about the University Café, at least what I saw on TV. Have you ever been there? It's supposed to be famous.
I realise you're taking the piss, but if you want real Scottish food, Venison is quite nice.

Originally posted by SeitseIn the old days, oysters and clarret was the food stuff of the poor (a few hundred years ago). The food would differ somewhat from place to place, but most tourist traps will serve haggis.
Isn't it Edinburgh the most famous town in Scotland? What are the other important cities? Is the food the same in all of them or does it depend on the region?
Scotland was never a rich country, so the food is mostly simple. Stovies, mince and tatties, porridge and the likes. Our Salmon is world famous though.
