In this video, we dive into the world of Scottish snacks! Join us as we taste test an exciting variety of Scottish sweets and treats, all sent directly from Scotland.
This time around, we got our hands on some truly unique items. From delicious Tunnock's treats and Scottish macaroon to Milk Chocolate Gingers and Scottish shortbread, each snack brought its own delightful surprise. But perhaps the most intriguing were the honey glazed ham and haggis crisps-could this be what haggis really tastes like?
We're amazed by the quality and variety of these Scottish snacks, and feel so fortunate to have had the chance to try these foods. We look forward to discovering more incredible snacks from Scotland in future videos.

As a Scot, this was THE BEST episode yet!! It’s taken Steve a while but I feel that he’s finally more comfortable in front of the camera and with Lindsay by his side, his cheeky side comes out - makes for great watching lol. Can’t believe you couldn’t eat a whole Snowball - the best way to eat it is in one go, otherwise you end up wearing all the falling coconut. Haggis traditionally is spicy but not in a chilli way, it’s ground spices - White Pepper, Allspice, Mace, Coriander, Nutmeg and Black Pepper. Our crisps generally are less greasy than what you have in the US. Glad that overall you enjoyed all the food you tried. Can’t wait for you to make it to Scotland and try our foods in situ xxx

The English always say British snacks. Let's have noticed the Scots say Scottish snacks. Why.

@lynnejamieson2063 Ай бұрын

@@grahamfrear9270 in general, they are things that have either a cultural connection or maybe it’s because it’s a brand that’s produced in Scotland and still family owned. Not every Scottish snack is referred to as Scottish though for example McVities was a brand created in Scotland by a Scot and it was a Scottish Doctor living in Scotland that invented the digestive biscuits but they’re both thought of and described as British…I mean even scone are thought of as being English all over the world when the evidence of their origin shows them to have been created in Scotland and are even named after Scone Abbey (pronounced to rhyme with soon) where Scottish monarchs sat atop the Stone of Destiny to be proclaimed. But with the likes of Tunnocks, it’s quite difficult to find anything other than the standard milk chocolate Tea Cakes and Caramel Wafers outside of Scotland. But there are many English snacks and dishes that are known by their region/country/place of origin like Yorkshire pudding, Bakewell tart/pudding or Eaton mess.

I find it odd that those amazing Tunnocks coconut meringues are so hard to come by. My mum used to get a Tunnocks hamper at new year and it had some in the box. A few years ago I asked a man from Tunnocks at the ideal home show Glasgow. He said to me I'll let you into a secret if you go to the food snack stall in the Savoy centre he has them. But u don't think he sells them anymore. You also rarely see wafer creams in shops or the ones with Florida orange.

How to make Scottish macaroons Now a few words of warning here, when you start adding the icing sugar to the mashed potato it will go all horrid and gloopy. It is at this point that cursing, throwing in the proverbial towel and storming out of the kitchen seems like a good option as the damn thing looks like it will never come together. Don’t panic, hang in there and keep adding in more sugar. It will come together beautifully, it just goes through a difficult patch rather like teenagers and then comes good in the end. Add the mint extract (optional) and bring your macaroon mixture together into a firm dough I promise this works. I’ve made these countless times on stage and they always come together even though it looks kind of dodgy to start! Pull off little pieces and roll into balls and pop these into the fridge to firm up. Melt the chocolate in a bain marie (bowl over simmering water - make sure water not touching the bowl though) or in a microwave if you have one. Dip the chilled macaroon balls into the chocolate then straight into the coconut. Voila! you now have Scottish macaroons. only MASH POTATO no butter , milk or cream

@rubilister9780 Ай бұрын

My nanna used to make these when I was tiny but we haven’t been able to replicate her recipe exactly… overall some of my cousins and I tried a few different “versions “ that I’d found on line too. She also made this rice dish that she called hodgepodge but I can’t find any references to it anywhere so I’m assuming it was something she made up. It was basically like a pasta bake with rice or oats (very savoury with lots of veggies or meat leftovers depending on the money for the week) It was always delicious. I do a version of this with left over veggies and chopped up vegetarian sausages for both my fiancé and I and cover the top in cheese and breadcrumbs.

Actually. Taylors wanted to start up making crisps and snacks. They secured supportive funding from the already-established Mackies along with consent to use the Mackies name until they had established their product range. Once Talyors were in a position to pay off that funding and stand alone they were to do so. Taylors are based in the village I grew up in - Errol, Perthshire.

The best comparison for what the taste and texture of Haggis resembles is actually Meatballs. Basically - ground meat with spices added for flavour and grain added for texture.

Mackies also do several variety of ice creams and chocolate bars as well. At least with haggis in a can, you don't have to worry about it exploding when you pierce the outer covering after cooking (I've seen that happen close up once). Personally I would say that Patersons are one of the name brands for shortbread. They also do a clotted cream shortbread and a Scottish cream shortbread as well The Tunnock's Caramel Logs are basically their Caramel Wafers with the addition of toasted coconut dusting the chocolate. What Haggis tastes like varies depending on who made it.

I have never tried a haggis crisp, but as you know, in the past I've got off the train at some town, especially to enjoy a recommded haggis bar, with whiskey sauce. The best whiskey has to have both the correct climate and atmosphere, and usually these days you can get whiskeys with various aromatic flavours. Don't forget that a lot of the stuff you get sent, is kiddies stuff, but I will try haggis crisps the next time I'm in Scotland. I would think the best place would be in a pub, washed down with a local brew, maybe even a whiskey.

The shortbread like all British biccies is better dipped in a cup of tea and Patterson's is a good brand but to be fair all Scottish made shortbread is good. Mackie's crisps unfortunately are no more they were bought over by Taylors who promptly did away with Mackie's flavours. The Honey Glazed Ham was indeed a seasonal flavour. Taylors cheese and onion and roast beef flavours are nice though. The snowballs are usually big puffy chocolate and coconut coated mallow balls, pretty sweet. The caramel wafers are ok but the caramel logs are my personal favourite from Tunnocks I can scoff a packet of 6 logs in a sitting. The macaroon bars are an old traditional fondant based snack that we used to get at football games when I was a kid. They are so so sweet though, they give you an energy rush to get you through an hour and half of football in freezing temperatures. I love Mrs Tilly's whisky fudge it's amazing. My Grandma loved chocolate ginger biscuits and indeed chocolate coated pieces of ginger root. There are so many things to try in Scotland when you visit, our ales, beers, spirits are amazing. You really should try Scottish seafood though and of course Aberdeen Angus steaks are to die for. Some of our fast foods are best avoided, the infamous deep-fried mars bar is not for the faint hearted. We also have some amazing foreign foods available thanks to the old Imperial legacy, Scotland has some incredible Indian restaurants.

Love this video, lots of laughter, and Steve on your A game. Mackies brand crisps can be found at Lidl stores in London, and Mackies make really nice ice cream too. Walkers make a pickled onion flavour, and beef and onion, and at one time tomato ketchup, and sausage and tomato. Hello from London UK 🇬🇧

If u come to Scotland please try a trifle layered dessert called "Cranachan" it's oatmeal, whisky, fruit usually "raspberries or strawberries" and cream it's astonishingly good!

Taylors and Mackies crisps are the same. The Taylor family, potato farmers, were in partnership making crisps with Mackie family, dairy farmers who were already in retail selling ice cream and chocolate. They traded the crisps under the already established Mackies name. Both parties decided to separate the businesses in 2022 with Taylors focusing on crisps and snacks and Mackies on ice cream and chocolate. The new branding of the crisps as Taylors is quite recent.
