Preparation steps:

  • Prior to your date, do some research on traditional Scottish foods and drinks that you'd like to try. Create a list of restaurants and food markets you want to visit, and make necessary reservations. Ensure that both you and your date are comfortable trying new foods, especially considering that Scottish cuisine can be quite different.
  • Plan the day's route, trying to minimize travel time between locations. Also, make sure to adequately space out your meals to avoid feeling too full too soon.

Some tips:

  • Always appreciate the art that goes into creating these traditional dishes. Small talk with restaurateurs and staff can often lead to interesting stories and insights.
  • Make it a point to try a range of dishes - include an appetizer, main course, and dessert throughout your tour to enjoy a full meal. Sharing your dishes will also allow you both to enjoy various flavors.
  • Lastly, it may be tempting to stay in one place if you particularly enjoy it, but remember that the goal of this date is to experience a breadth of Scottish cuisine. So, no matter how much you enjoy the haggis, remember to save room for some traditional shortbread!
