Scottish Food and Edinburgh city tour in Scotland Travel Food Video Transcript:
There is buddy Rob again. Good morning. So it is our second day in Edinburgh and we are starting things off with more food.
Because if there is one thing we're good at it is eating. But we're doing a little bit of walking to get there so it is the perfect compliment this morning. We can't wait to get started.
So Rob what is the tour about today? The tour is basically about cruising through Edinburgh, seeing some nice sights and trying some classic foods. Alright, let's do that. Maybe there is Haggis on the menu.
Haggis!
The first stop the Itchycoo. Let's go in.
Okay, so the first stop of the tour is at the Itchy Coo and we are going to be having some Haggis for breakfast. Are you ready Sam? And starting off with a Virgin Mary. Decided not to make it bloody because it is like ten AM. A bit early to drink. Oh, that is very good. Okay, now let's try the Haggis down here. And it is on looks like it is on a little cracker which is really cool.
So we had Haggis at the first stop and you boys actually ate all of it.
So they gave us little earpieces so we can hear our guide through the traffic and even if we trail behind a little bit. But I feel like we're channeling some serious FBI vibes down the Royal Mile.
So we've made it to our second stop today. Cranachan & Crowdie. Let's try some of these goodies. Yes, so we're starting off with some venison here. With some Ooft! sauce.
Okay, so I'm going for the orkney smoked cheddar. We're going to dip it in chocolate and this chocolate has whisky so. Oh my. I don't think I've ever had chocolate with whisky before.
So that was Cranachan and Crowdie and they have food, drink and gifts from over three hundred suppliers in Scotland. So if you want to get an authentic gift for a friend or family this is a really cool place.
Right now we are heading inside the Fudge House for a little something sweet. Let's do this. And fudge is one of my favorite foods. Also we're going to learn about tablet I think. How much do you like fudge?
So being the fudge fanatic that I am I am very excited to try this. This if you look down here. This is the Scottish Highland cream. So this is one of the most traditional ones you can try. I'll just pop that in my mouth here.
So as part of the tour we get to choose one bar to take with us and eat along the way. And they have over twenty varieties of fudge here so we're struggling.
So we've been having sweet and savory foods. Now it is time to enjoy some drinks.
So this is your little souvenir. Proud of my little souvenir from Campbeltown Loch Scotch Whisky.
And if we haven't been feasting enough it is time for lunch. We're having Scandinavian Scottish fusion Smorgasbord. Alright, this is Hemma. Are you ready for Scandinavian Scottish. I'm ready.
So how was that meal? The meal was fantastic. My favorite things were actually the herring and beetroot salad and that is saying a lot because there were two other salmon dishes that I really liked.
Now the only problem is we thought that was the last stop so we ate a lot and now we're stuffed and apparently there is still beer and cheese ahead.
And you're trying the Ghost Town and this is from the northwest. So it is a porter and let's give it a shot. And apparently it has a bit of a chili infusion so. Let's see if you can taste that.
I do taste a slight bit of that. It is a porter so it is kind of like a Guinness.
So that is wrap from the Edinburgh eat and walk tour. If you're a foodie and you ever find yourself in the city we highly recommend it. Absolutely.

Eating Scottish Food and Scottish Cuisine in Edinburgh, Scotland
With an opportunity to spend over a week in Edinburgh, Scotland we were able to sample a wide spread of Scottish food and eat Scottish cuisine. Our first meal was Haggis, a national dish of Scotland, which is a savory pudding made with sheep's pluck (heart, liver and lungs) with neeps and tatties. We washed that down with a Hot Toddy - a concoction of whiskey, lemon and honey. I had reservations about this dish but surprisingly instantly loved it!

How could we visit Scotland and not try a deep-fried chocolate bar? We started off first with a deep-fried mars bar and then tried a deep-fried snicks and a deep-fried twix. The melted chocolate and deep-fried goodness was an instant hit with our ever discerning taste buds.
We followed up with a taste test of various Scottish snacks and junk food:
1) Irn Bru (a fizzy drink that wasn't a big hit for us)
2) Mackie's of Scotland's Haggis and cracked black pepper flavored chips (Scottish crisps) I really like these chips!
3) Crabbie's Ginger Beer - it was delicious!
4) Butterscotch chocolate - yum! How could you not like chocolate?
5) Scottish shortbread cookies - amazingly tasty!
6) Tablet - I loved it but Audrey hated it
Overall I loved:
Haggis, Neeps and Tatties, Haggis crisps, Ginger beer, Butterscotch chocolate, Scottish shortbread cookies, tablet and deep-fried Mars bar.
I didn't like the following:
Irn Bru

Eating a Deep-Fried Mars Bar in Edinburgh, Scotland
On a quest to try a deep-fried Mars bar, we found a local chip shop in Edinburgh, Scotland that specialized in deep frying chocolate bars including Snickers bars and also Twix.
I remember seeing a program featuring Scotland nearly a decade ago where a deep-fried Mars bar was featured.

In my teenage years at the time, I thought it was an absolutely brilliant idea. I loved deep fried chips, battered fish and fried rice. Why not fry a chocolate bar?
Now that I look back in hindsight, I wonder if this was the rational of the chipper who first fried a Mars bar in the mid 90's in Stonehaven.
Little did he/she know what a phenomenon they would create.
Now nearly 1/4 of all chip shops in Scotland offer the option of deep frying a Mars bar (or any chocolate bar for that matter). Some even feature a dedicated fryer exclusive for the chocolate bars only. In popular tourist areas certain shops sell as many as 50-200 bars per week!
Hunting down a shop in Edinburgh was a little more tricky than it is in say Glasgow.
When I finally did locate a shop, I immediately noticed an impressive selection of different chocolate bars.
Upon the recommendation of the chipper I decided to go with a deep-fried Mars bar, deep-fried Snickers and deep-fried Twix.
Although this may sound glutinous to some, I felt a responsibility to report which bar was the best ;)
The kind owner let me into the back of the kitchen to film and learn the tricks of the trade first hand: You just stick it in the batter and shake it around. It's a secret recipe. Keep it in the fryer for 2-3 minutes. It's 170 degrees.
Before I knew it, I had four slabs of deep fried chocolate in my hands and it was time to experience a taste test. Audrey, feeling queasy from an upset stomach, left me to my own devices to sample all three for the two of us. Oh, what a pity ;)
I started off with the Mars bar. The first thing I noticed was that the bar appeared to have shrunk a bit in size and was a little flimsy from the melted chocolate inside. Upon taking my first bite I felt the crispiness of the deep fried batter give way to melted chocolate and caramel. This was so much better than just a regular bar on its own.
This is part of our Travel in Scotland series showcasing Scottish culture, Scottish arts, Scottish foods, Scottish religion and Scottish people.
What's your name? Sam. Sam how you doing man? We're doing a deep-fried snickers, a Twix and we've already done a Mars bar already. Awesome. I'm going to unwrap it. Stick it in the batter. I can't tell you that because it's my secret. Hahaha...secret recipe? Of course. The Twix. One. Two. Mix it around. Give it a little shake. We fry them separately. This is just for the Mars bars. Mars bars only. Awesome. So the temperature. This is 170 degrees. And while the batter cooks the chocolate will melt. So the batter will cook before the chocolate.
So we've been hearing lots about the Mars bars but Sam here went overboard and tried three different chocolate bars that have been deep fried. So what do you have? Well, at the recommendation of the guy at the chip shop. He recommended I also try the Snickers and the Twix bar, so we've got it all right here. Let's unwrap that. I don't want to drop it here. Okay. Let's see that thing of beauty. Isn't that gorgeous. Alright, so which is which? So I believe this is the Snickers. We've got the two Twixes here and that is the Mars bar. Alright. And you're feeling a little queasy today, so I'm going to be the one trying them all. And you can tell they really feel as though they've been deep-fried and melted. This is flimsy in the hand. Yeah, this is a Mars bar. I can tell from what is seeping out. Take a bite. Oh, Wow.
It's all melted inside. Okay, so you've tried all three. Which was our favorite? Definitely the Snickers. Why? Because I love Snickers bars and this just enhanced it. So, it's not surprising that taking something that is already unhealthy and making it even unhealthier would make it taste better.
