The traditional food and drink in Scotland
2
A little introduction

• Each country around the world has a specific,
  distinctive food and drink.
• I want to talk about the traditional food and
  drink in Scotland.
• For doing that, I went on Internet to look for
  some informations and illustrations.
• First part of my show are on the food and the
  second, naturally, on the drink.

Haggis

• Haggis is perhaps the best known Scottish
  delicacy, and it is
• wonderful stuff, with a rich flavour, although
  those partaking for
• the first time are often put off when they hear
  what it is made
• of... windpipe, lungs, heart and liver of the
  sheep are boiled and then minced. This is mixed
  with beef suet and lightly toasted oatmeal.
• This mixture is placed inside the sheep's
  stomach, which is sewn
• closed. The resulting haggis is traditionally
  cooked by further
• boiling (for up to three hours) although the
  part-cooked haggis
• can be cooked in the oven which prevents the risk
  of bursting and
• spoiling.

Bannocks

• The Bannocks are little bread cook on a frying
  pan or in a oven.
• They are made often with oats but sometimes with
  wheat or barley.
• Its the typical bread of Scottish.

Porridge

• A simple dish, made of boiled oatmeal.
• It needs to be boiled slowly and stirred
  continuously with the traditional spirtle - a
  wooden stick which is about 30cm long - to avoid
  the formation of lumps!
• Traditionally crofters in the Highlands of
  Scotland would make a large pot of porridge at
  the beginning of the week.
• Porridge should be thick and wholesome, not thin
  like gruel.
• It has remarkable properties for preventing
  hunger.
• Today it is often eaten for breakfast, with the
  addition of milk, and a small plate keeps you
  feeling full until lunchtime.

Scotch Whisky

• The whisky is a brandy of barley malted,
  sometimes added with rye, of oats or of corn.
• The origin of the whisky is today still prone to
  controversies between Irishman and Scottish, each
  one have some oldest proof about the creation of
  the whisky.
• Some affirm that its Saint Patrick which in
  brought the process.
• There after the whisky was brought on the New
  World, in particularly in the United States and
  Canada.
• Since the beginning of the XXe century, some
  distilling developed in Japan, then in the rest
  of the world.
