Traditional Scottish foods to try
You can't visit Aberdeen without tasting some typical Scottish and regional dishes. Exploring the local food culture is one of the top things to do in Aberdeen – don't miss out! If you're only going to try one new dish, make it haggis. The traditional dish represents the best of the Scottish attitude towards cooking, using lesser-favoured animal parts. That means heart, liver and lungs, finely chopped and mixed with oats, suet and seasoning. The mixture is packed into a natural casing, usually sheep's intestines, and then boiled or baked. Haggis is traditionally served with neeps and tatties(mashed swede and potatoes!). Haggis isn't for everyone. If you don't love the traditional offal dish, good news!
