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

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.
Fantastic post. 🙏 thanks
I have no interest in warm beer or organ meat from a sheep.
Oddly, the writer never mentions that “heid” is a dialectal variant of “head”. The closest he comes is, “...(a broth or soup made from a Sheep head), and that’s where the Sheep Heid Inn’s name originates.” It’s probably pretty clear if spoken, but the written version leaves one scratching his heid if not familiar with the word.
Do they serve haggis?
I am a haggis fan. I know, gross and all. I also like/listen to Disturbed.
Thats got to be really weird.
