Scottish cuisine is quite good and not at all daring. Things are basically the same as rural french or german cuisine, e.g. haggis and black pudding are very similar to weisser/roter Pressack, Leberwurst or boudin noir. That they usually use sheep instead of pigs doesn't make a whole lot of difference. Most fish dishes are quite common in the rest of the world as well. While I'm not very partial to filled fish heads, those are imho the only thing that stands out a little.
I guess Americans are just generally squeamish when it comes to food. ;)
- technothrasher 5y agoMy fellow Americans definitely aren't, for the most part, particularly adventurous about food. I'm game for pretty much everything, personally. I didn't care for haggis, but I mostly objected to the oatmeal flavor and texture, rather than the animal innards. Although I do like black pudding. I suppose the oatmeal percentages are different. > sheep instead of pigs doesn't make a whole lot of difference. Oh it sure as heck does to me. Pig in all forms is heavenly. Sheep is almost always way too gamey for me, although I did have some killer lamb chops in South Africa once. But the flavor of the meat and dairy products reminds me of the smell of the sweat from the various goats I grew up with. No thank you.

I recently brought some lamb chops to a barbecue at friend's (Its the only meat my little daughter wants to eat) and my friends had a try and also seconds. They were somewhat surprised they like it.
