What I found amusing about Scotland was the number of Thai restaurants in the country.
In the small town of Fort William, there were FOUR of them. Two had closed, though. Guess there wasn't that much demand for them.... though I still couldn't see how even 2 got by.
And in Edinburgh, in the "new" city, on one corner there were 4 authentic (we tried them all) Italian restaurants.

if you're talking about the same one that i ate in at nearly the same time, i heartily agree. the food was as good as some of the ny or san francisco chinatown restaraunts.fel bautista wrote:the best ever spring roll my wife and I ate was in Dublin. We still talk about the chinese resturant that we went to 20+ years ago.

Scotland has some of the best natural foods in the world but ironically some of the worst food habits imaginable..
For that special evening with someone ye can get a Deep fried mars bar with chips£1.70 washed down with a bottle of Buckie£1.99(cheap tonic wine favoured by jakies or most o the folk living in Lanarkshire,especially my neck o the woods,Coatbridge)
Then for dessert at least 20 cigarettes.
Sitting in the restaurant(cafe) would be considered too effette so you treat your partner(if your feeling flushed with money,or normally ye would try and get your partner to pay) to an al fresco meal...after your meal don't forget to throw all your rubbish on the pavement aff then to the pub for a wee nightcap then on the way hame have a pish wherever ye please before boking, again, wherever ye please...
Ye don't get this on the Scottish Tourism Leaflets do ye!!
Deep fried mars bars are nothing,everything is feckin deep fried.
Those brave souls who try to encourage a more cosmopolitan flavour to the diet should be applauded and not thought strange.They are pioneers in what is really a hopeless cause.

They've had curry sauce/chips here in a couple of Irish pubs run allegedly by Irish guys for years, but the curry is barely detectable. Tastes a bit like potato soup gone off a bit and leaning on the yellow side.djm wrote:I wish Ireland's contribution to world cuisine, i.e. curried chips, would spread here. Hmm, I wonder what curried poutine would be like ....

I trained as a nurse in Glasgow (Southern General) 1n 1988- 1991.
The west of Scotland had the largest heart disease problems of any other country in Europe!
There was an iniative then to try and edycate the population of Scotland to eat healthy (er)
Uilleam by all accounts this Healty Heart iniative failed dismally!
I remember when I first moved to Glasgow. Apart from the language barrier(They couldn't understand Mancunian) I once asked for Pizza and Chips from a place in the East end of Glasgow...Tollcross.
To my horror the man put the Pizza in the fat frier along with everything else!
