Scottish cuisine

From WikiMD's Wellnesspedia

Scottish cuisine is the specific set of cooking traditions and practices associated with Scotland. It has distinctive attributes and recipes of its own, but shares much with wider British cuisine, partly through the importation of ingredients and ideas during the time of the British Empire, and in the modern era due to the influx of people from abroad.

History[edit | edit source]

The history of Scottish cuisine reflects the changing circumstances of the Scottish people, as well as incorporating influences from foreign cultures. The Middle Ages saw the development of unique food and drink traditions that have played a key role in shaping the nation's cuisine to this day.

Ingredients[edit | edit source]

Scottish cuisine is based on locally sourced ingredients. The most common ingredients in Scottish cuisine are mutton, beef, pork, fish, seafood, oats, potatoes, and berries.

Beverages[edit | edit source]

Scotland is internationally known for its traditional drink, Scotch whisky. Other popular beverages include Irn-Bru, Scottish beer, and Scottish tea.
