Food and drink make up the largest sector of Scottish exports and this very successful industry employs almost 1 in 5 (18.8%) of all workers, most of them in small local businesses (Gates, 5 top exports for Scotland right now, 2017). You will learn about traditional Scottish fare; food and drink which are created from produce grown or sourced in Scotland. Not surprisingly, it is largely the geography of the country, its rugged hills and cool, damp climate that have determined the crops which can be grown and the animals which can be reared. With just under 17,000 km of coastline, it is equally unsurprising that seafood features prominently on our menus. Scotland’s food and drink are celebrated so vibrantly in the nation’s literature and folk culture that there are references throughout to examples of these.

  • Edinburgh, Scotland Destination Guide
    Edinburgh, Scotland Destination Guide Overview of Edinburgh Presenting a distinctly Gothic cityscape as it spreads out below its ancient castle, reaching out to the port of Leith, Edinburgh is far from dour. The canny Scots have crafted a capital with enthralling culture and festivity, veneered with sophistication but seeped in history. It's a heady combination that never fails to charm visitors to the city. The first thing that catches the eye in Edinburgh is the looming battlements of the castle, sitting atop sheer granite cliffs that can only be accessed from one steep ridge. Today the castle heads up the Royal Mile and a linear set of streets making up the 'New Town', created when Edinburgh was re-designed in the 1700s, after the Act of Union with Britain. The New Town; named a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with the Old Town, is the artistic heart of the capital, with an abundance of galleries, shops, cafes and historical sites. When it comes to sightseeing, many of Edinburgh's attractions are based on historic stories and legends, from the churchyard where Greyfriar's Bobby, the terrier, refused to leave his master's grave, to the grand royal apartments of Holyrood House, where Mary Queen of Scots watched her husband kill her lover back in the 16th century. Although, unquestionably engaging from historical and cultural perspectives, Edinburgh also has a strong culinary presence, with five restaurants sporting Michelin stars and a growing fine-dining and bar scene. A spirited city at any time of year, Edinburgh's eclectic nature is never more pronounced than during the summer months, when the Edinburgh Festival fills the city with drama, creativity and colourful visitors from around the world.

  • International Cuisines IHM Notes
    International Cuisines Great Britain (British Cuisine) History Although the British Empire occupied once a quarter of the world’s land, had a quarter of the globe’s population, and is responsible for the industrial revolution, its cuisine has been described as a simple and even very poor. However most of these comments have more to do with the stereotype of British food as boil meat and vegetables. This is not British food, and never has been! The climate and the fact that it is an island affected the cuisine. From the warm climate of the south, to the cooler north. Golden wheat fields, and the fat cows of Jersey England produces amongst the finest produce available anywhere in the world. During the British Empire era, ingredients and cooking concepts were brought from the European countries with which Britain interacted, as well as from as far afield as The Americas, India and Asia and were incorporated widely into British food. The Britain saw the beginnings of World Cuisine as we know it today. While Escoffier, is considered by many the "Father of modern Cuisine" it is largely forgotten that he spent a large part of his working life working in English kitchens. And that many of his best remembered recipes were created at the Savoy and Ritz hotels in London. While it is also true that World Cuisine largely passed Britain for decades after the Second World War due largely to the heavy rationing still in place well after the war ended (in fact it finally finished altogether as late as 1954).

  • The Development of a Healthy Eating Indicator Shopping Basket Tool (HEISB) for Use in Food Access Studies—Identification of Key Food Items

Pedralbes 60, 08034 Barcelona, Spain Submitted 31 May 2006: Accepted 15 February 2007: First published online 18 June 2007 Abstract Objectives: To develop an objective, nutrient-based, healthy eating indicator shopping basket (HEISB) tool for use in studies of access to healthy food. Design: Tool development used a literature search to identify previous practice, web information on current definition of healthy foods by the UK Food Standards Agency, and population-based dietary surveys to identify culturally acceptable foods. These findings were then appraised with respect to practical fieldwork considerations. Setting: The review took account of surveys undertaken in a range of geo- graphical areas. Results: Previous tools have varied in the foods selected and the rationale for inclusion. Most have considered nutritional composition but no systematic defi- nition has been used and foods have been subjectively classified as ‘less healthy’ or ‘more healthy’. Recent UK work on nutrient profiling enabled individual food items to be objectively assessed for inclusion.
