A Scotch pie is a double-crust pie filled with minced mutton, often highly spiced with pepper and other ingredients. In Aberdeen and in Dundee it is quite often known as mince pie, to differentiate it from other types of pie such as steak pie, steak-and-kidney pie, steak-and-tattie pie and so on. You can try it with a side dish, such as mashed potatoes, baked beans, brown sauce or gravy.

As in every part of the United Kingdom, this is the most traditional fast food in Scotland as well. Deep-fried battered fish is the standard choice but you can also order it in breadcrumbs. Cod and haddock are the most popular fishes, but you can also order white (oatmeal and pork sausage) or black (blood sausage) pudding with your chips.
And if you visit a ‘chippie’, definitely you´ll have to try a deep fried Mars bar!

If you come to Scotland, you will try this typical dish. But, you have to have a strong stomach!
Scottish people like to tell a story when a foreigner asks them what a haggis is: ‘A haggis is a small, furry four-legged creature whose stumpy limbs are shorter on one side than the other, making it perfect for running around the peaks of Scottish mountains (its most common habitat) in one direction only’. As you suppose, no, that isn´t a haggis, but I think is better that you try some haggis with neeps and tatties (turnips and potatos) and don’t think about its composition. It’s really really tasty!

English breakfast is very well known all around the world, but what´s happened with the Scottish one? You can try this glorious breakfast in many pubs and B&Bs, formed by bacon and egg, but typically with the addition of local favourites such as black pudding (blood sausage) and potato scones. Porridge is another option, made with cooked oatmeal and sprinkle on some sugar.
