Current Events > Scottish people have the most garbage diets I've ever seen

(+) Yeah! (+)

Ah, so the last lamb you had was probably cooked Orlesian style. Food shouldn't be frilly and pretentious like that. Now here in Ferelden, we do things right. We take our ingredients, throw them into the largest pot we can find, and cook them for as long as possible until everything is a uniform grey color. As soon as it looks completely bland and unappetizing, that's when I know it's done.

Is that truly representative of the whole country, or did you stay in the equivalent of midwestern suburbia?

Scotland has effectively two cultures: embarrassing highlander and edinburgh folk who are the kilt-wearing, haggis eating, poetry reading kind, and the other, which is everybody else. And that second lot are basically just trailer trash, except council subsidised apartments instead of trailers.

lmao @DrizztLink where's that from

Edinburgh sounds like a blast tbh

Today I saw a quintessential white scottish man at an indian street food stall ask if they have anything without onions in it.

That's actually not weird. It's quite common for Indian places to have onion-free options because Jains and some Hindus don't eat onions.

I learned a new thing!

Some Buddhists abstain from eating onions and garlic, as well as other pungent vegetables like chives, leeks, and shallots. This is because these foods are believed to stimulate strong emotions and desires, hindering spiritual development.

I'm Scottish from just outside Glasgow

I try to eat a varied diet like fish, meat and pasta. The only green stuff I have is peas with either fish or mince & tatties. I do eat carrots & turnip when I have roasts as well as stovies.

Do they get defensive over there food like the Brits though?

Didn't Scotland pioneer deep-frying everything? And then they brought that to America and we just ran with it lol

I am Scottish, used to be a chef, have lived and worked all over the country in various levels from roadside cafes to fine dining restaurants and unfortunately TC is pretty much right. The majority of Scots have a fucking awful relationship with food, it's been hitting home recently after having first kid and seeing other parents feed 12 month old kids packets of crisps, pot noodles and sausage rolls. Absolute national disgrace to be fair, someone above mentioned the comparison to the Midwest and a better comparison might be Detroit, absolute post industrial hellscape, lack of hope etc.

In the United States, they put sugar in almost everything. Things that are not supposed to be sweet are sweet.

They never really got over that :p

Puerto Rico has the most garbage diets, Scotland is a culinary feast by comparison

lol genocide
