Scotland

So a few weeks ago I was in Scotland with the parents - Glasgow, St. Andrews, Edinburgh and some surrounding countryside. Very nice, indeed. The food was incredible. Some of the best seafood I have ever had. I only took a few pictures of the food.

They make a lot of awesome smoked fish in Scotland, this is a smoked haddock and clam chowder that was bomb.

Haggis with Neeps (Swede) and Tatties (Potatoes)

Haggis is also great.

Anstruther is a small fishing village on the North Sea between Edinburgh and St. Andrews. It is notorious for having the U.K.'s best fish and chip shop. We went there. I have yet to go to every chippy in Great Britain but  it was damn good. 

If only it came with hot sauce.

Proof

Bonus: We actually did not eat any of this, but it was a good picture from Edinburgh. 

Fried Pork Cheek

Yeah, well, long time no post. But when you are jostling with the global south for communal kitchen space the product slips. Anyways, I'm going to Basque country tomorrow but decided to post a few pics from when my sister was here.

The first two were from Great Queen Street which is a nice "gastro-pub".

Raclette under a heater: you can have them melt it on top of roasted new potatoes.
