We skipped Hawai'i and the last one in line, Craft Beers.
However, we did go to the one right in between them- last but not least: Scotland.
Scotland was another new one this year. I loved it! I really wanted to eat everything they had. We settled for two of the three menu options (partly because my mom doesn't like salmon and I didn't want to use stomach room for an entire dish to myself).
Vegetarian Haggis with Neeps & Tatties (Griddled Vegetable Cake with Rutabaga & Mashed Potatoes)
Scottish Banoffee Tart with Bananas, Scotch Whisky Toffee, Walkers Shortbread Crumbles & Sweet Cream
Both of these were vegetarian friendly dishes and they were definitely delicious! Normally haggis is made with heart, liver, and lungs from a sheep all cooked in its belly. So all I can say is THANK GOODNESS this one was vegetarian! The potatoes and rutabaga were both really good, too. I loved the banoffee tart. I'm very happy I got it. I was going to either get the tart or the chocolate dessert from Ireland. To save time I decided to get this tart, and I believe I made a wise choice.
Other foods and drinks we did not try:
Seared Scottish Salmon with Cauliflower Puree, Watercress & Malt Vinaigrette
Innis & Gunn Original
Loch Lomond ft. Glenfiddich 12 year
Glenfiddich Scotch Flight
And so this concludes our eating around the world adventure. I need to do this again sometime. Definitely not this year, unless I can find a time in September to go. Even then, it may be pushing it due to limited time before the wedding with all the last minute details needing to be put into order. Maybe Ean and I can save up enough money to go for a 1 year anniversary treat, though we may have to just wait until our 5 year anniversary, haha.
