One of my favorite offal dishes is scrapple, a real Pennsylvania treat.
OK, that was clever.
Prices are very reasonable for such a historical place.
They close at 11 PM on weekends!

Thanks nickcarraway.
Yes, but I am sure they have a lock-in. This means they lock the doors from new patrons when the law requires it. But the patrons already inside stay and drink until they are ready to leave. Apparently, the police are okay with this.
Damn. I was just in Edinburgh in August and I missed it.
The typical tourist flog article.
Edinburgh is a place for pussies.Liberal ones.
You really want to know Scotland, stay in Glasgow.
And go pub hopping.
Don’t wear a team soccer shirt, you could run into the wrong bunch and get flogged.
Go on a pub crawl to neighborhood pubs all around Glasgow.The people are friendly and you can also meet members of the opposite sex who don’t mind going for a dance and dinner.
Saturday morning pub visits are a blast. The whole neighborhood is there taking part in the soccer pool and watching the games on TV while sipping their favorite brew.Just make sure you are not driving home.
One of my favorite meals in Goasgow was at a neighborhood restaurant. I chose the bangers and mash. I was rewarded with a platter o buttery mashed poatties with grated chedder and gravey with 7 sausages stuck into the potatoes in a circle with one central vertical sausage standing up from the center of the round platter, along with a full Pint of dark ale. The whole mess was served to me by an attractive buxom waitress who made a point of winking at me and saying “This should do ye proud laddie!” Needless to say I left her a fiver for a tip.
Scotland is a wonderful place. The most wonderful parts are off the beaten path in the Highlands and the North West coast. Thats where the pubs are at their best.
And do not miss out on the various meat pies you can find in local bakeries. They are thick crusted,(eaten whole without a pie plate) and contain the most delicious concoctions of lamb , beef , kidney and pork.
“delicious concoctions of lamb , beef , kidney and pork.”
I know what lamb, beef and pork are, not sure that I have ever seen a “kidney” (animal).
scrapple
Was a staple at our house growing up. We all survived.
Fantastic post. 🙏 thanks
I love that movie.
I have no interest in warm beer or organ meat from a sheep.
The beer is cold. As for the organ meat from a sheep, you don’t know what you’re missing.
Oban is an excellent base to explore the highlands, islands and lochs.
