A Vegetarian Takes Scotland

<p>It comes as no surprise to anyone familiar with Scottish culture that the Scots love their meats. From blood pudding to Aberdeen angus to their beloved haggis, Scotland isn&rsquo;t necessarily known for their vegetarian cuisine. My number one worry before I went abroad was essentially, as a vegetarian, what in the world am I going to eat during my four months in a carnivorous country? Am I just going to have to survive on overcooked potatoes and turnips? Will I be ridiculed by every Scottish waiter at every restaurant I visit for only ordering a salad? Although it might not seem like that big of a deal, any vegetarian understands the struggle of having to explain your dietary choices to strangers. Especially when you&rsquo;re trying to make a good impression with the locals of your host country. With all of these panicked thoughts running through my head, I was relieved to discover that, although Scotland will never relinquish its love of all that is good and meaty, Edinburgh is a very vegetarian friendly city.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@kedietz/a-vegetarian-takes-scotland-8457abfc916a"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
