It is true that I once refused to eat haggis in Scotland and this did not sit well with the local population.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Haggis is delicious. It is wonderful. It's spicy, it's tasty, and you get vegetarian haggis as well.
I think in England you eat too much sugar and meat and not enough vegetables.
What worries me is that, because of the amount of media coverage of food, Britain seems to have become a foodie nation - but I'm not sure it actually has. I'm not sure there's been a huge change in the pantry at home or what we cook for supper.
I grew up on red meat and corn. But I don't eat like that anymore.
In vast parts of the world, people don't eat meat.
My theory is that all of Scottish cuisine is based on a dare.
A lot of local food is very tasty. I'm very happy to eat it. I just don't think it's the same thing as saving the world.
A hunk of beef raised on Scottish moorland has a very different ecological footprint from one created in an intensive feedlot using concentrated cereal feed, and a wild venison or rabbit casserole is arguably greener than a vegetable curry.
I think, British food, it's had a bad rap.
I don't know of any cases where as a result of religious precepts a population have found themselves enjoying less food than they would have if they didn't follow this particular religion.
