To follow are simply some photos of interesting and odd ( well, we find them odd!) foodstuffs we've come accross during our visits to supermarkets and village stores. Hope you enjoy this small taste of Scottish culinary culture.
Iron bru flavored candies and Guinness chips....came accross these at the Torridon food and craft faire.
Scottish tablet fudge- not anything like what we call fudge in Amerca. Nonetheless, just like mithers!
Whisky cakes of many varieties! The one in red is made with whisky from the Highlands, the black with whisky from the Islands, and the blue with whisky from Speyside. So many things are made better with whisky!
Seriously, what do gingerbread men wear under their kilts? We didn't have the 2£ to "taste the legend" and find out! Thus, the mystery continues.
Start the day right, and you may just improve your put!
Delicious! Like gingerbread, with a kick!
Scotch whisky flavored McCondoms. Not exactly edible, but curious, and thoroughly Scottish.
Is that Mel Gibson on that porage box? Did you get any Walkers shortbread in Abelour? Yumm. Full of sugar & butter. And where' the boiled thistle?

ReplyDeleteHaven't come across the boiled thistle yet- will keep our eyes peeled!
ReplyDeleteYes we do believe that's good ole Mel- a strapping lad!
We did cycle pass the Walkers factory in Aberlour and must admit we had a few shortbread cookies- good cycling fuel! Lots of yUmmy FAT!!! Just what we need!
Let me know where to send you money. I'd like to try all three whiskey cakes. :)
