20 Ridiculous Things Which Make You Proud Of Being Scottish

14. None Of Our Dishes Sound Appetising

Now that we're on the subject of disgusting food from Scotland; not many of our native dishes actually sound terribly appealing. Of course everyone's aware of haggis which is basically offal in a sheep's stomach but other Scottish dishes sound just as disgusting. Take cock-a-leekie soup for instance. It's just chicken and leeks. Why make it sound so filth? Cullen skink, another soup (containing haddock this time) that no-one in their right mind would want to eat if they hadn't tasted it before. There's loads more. Forfar Bridies, Finnan Haddie, Partan Bree, Skirlie, Crappit Heid. But the king of them all is Rumbledethumps. It's merely the Scottish equivalent of Colcannon but to see it on a menu you'd think it's a particularly dense fart.
