Whisky is certainly the most famous and imported product in the country, but Ecossaise cuisine is no less interesting. The traditional Scottish cuisine is mainly made up of copious dishes that allow us to face the harsh climate of winter, which Scotland knows.
There are a good number of meals made with local products, but a few get away from it, they are all the more known and tasted by tourists coming to discover the country.

In the plates, the traditional haggis is one of Scotland’s specialties. This typical meal composed of stuffed sheep panse is accompanied by potato purée called fieldit tatties and purée of turnips. The haggis is consumed throughout the year by a good number of Scots, but it is customary to taste the haggis on January 25, during the festive ritual in memory to the poet Robert Burns. So even if many strangers are sceptical to the idea of eating haggis, by its content, many will be delighted to hear that there is also a vegetarian version of this typical meal.
