Scotland

Quench your thirst with the “water of life”—malt whiskey.

Scotland offers wonderful gastro-pubs, fish and chip shops and a handful of Michelin-starred restaurants that serve traditional and fusion cuisine using local ingredients. The food is influenced from the influx of immigrants, such as Chinese, Indian, Thai, Japanese, Mexican, Polish and Turkish.

The well-known, yet somewhat off-putting, delicacy that is considered the National Dish is haggis. Traditionally made from sheep's or calf's offal, oatmeal, suet, and seasonings, which are boiled in a skin made from the animal's stomach, there are modern versions that replace the stomach with casing and also those that don’t include meat.

If the idea of a stuffed stomach gives you a scare, sit down for another of Scotland’s prizes—malt whiskey. Called the “water of life,” Scotch is made in numerous distilleries around the country and is classified under the four regions it is made in—Highland, Lowland, Speyside and Islay.

If all of this doesn’t satiate your food adventurer, check this out: Scotland has created its own trend of deep frying the most unusual items such as deep-fried pizza or deep-fried Mars Bars.
