The country of Scotland has a rich and distinguished history when it comes to culinary creations. Traditional dishes make use of the foods and resources available, whether that’s fresh fish from the coast or oats grown inland. If you’re heading to Glasgow, Scotland’s second city, then here are three delicious and unique dishes which you need to try.
Oatcakes
These simple snacks are brilliant paired with cheese and chutney, or you can enjoy them plain. While oatcakes are available to buy in stores right across the UK, the range in Scotland is better than anywhere else. Tuck into some as a mid-morning snack to fuel you through your sightseeing in Glasgow.
Haggis
Love it or loathe it, haggis is the national dish of Scotland and so can’t be avoided on a trip to Glasgow. Luckily, there are now plenty of vegan, gluten-free and vegetarian options available, so if you’re curious about the taste of haggis but don’t fancy the original, you should be able to source a version to suit you.
Morning Roll
A morning roll is a simple snack, consisting of a soft white bread roll filled with meat, eggs or cheese – or a combination of all three! These filling and tasty rolls can be picked up from many cafes and takeaways across Glasgow, and are often incredibly cheap—an ideal option if you need a hearty breakfast or lunch on the go.
