Actually Scotland has some great produce - the blackface lamb /mutton on the prog last night, gorgeous big fat red raspberries in the summer (Cranachan is a delicious desert with raspberries, cream, toasted oatmeal and whisky), also great Scotch Beef, venison, lobsters, langoustines and other seafood (most of which gets flown to Spain and France)... Malt whisky of course, See http://www.caleyco.com/ for examples of Scottish produce.
However, I am not a big fan of haggis though although it tastes better than it looks! "The happiest of people don't necessarily have the
best of everything; they just make the best
of everything that comes along their way."

Scotland has a very good name in the US for the varied foods you have, especially the game and local produce.
I do like haggis!!
If you walk down past cliffords tower, past the museum, if my memory serves me correct its down there, if I manage to get there early jan (thanks travelodge!!) I'll update then!
But it on the right hand side towards the road, i think we were walking back to the car park it wasn't just the flapjacks, we had abagful of stuff and it was excellent! I hope its still there!0 -

I've been racking my brain trying to figure out which one you mean, and I cant for the life of me.
Mind you it's nearly 10 years since I lived there full time. (I nearly wrote "lived there 'properly'" but I've never done anything 'properly in my life:rotfl: )I'd rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are; because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star.
