Another Britpick Question

[amberfocus]

What is meant by a full Scottish menu?  What types of food would you be expected to find on it?  Especially for dinner time?  I've been looking and looking and all I can find for the Caledonia sleeper is the listing sandwiches, snacks, and a full British menu.  Which is not that helpful to poor, little American me.

Haggis, neeps & tatties :P

Yeah, that's the only thing I could find. But there's got to be more, hasn't there? Right now I'm looking at haggis for Jonathon and shepherd's pie for Rose.

To be honest, I couldn't think of anything else on a traditional Scottish menu. You would probably be safe with shepherd's pie though :)

I found a good website for it. I'm good.

To be honest...I rarely see a full Scottish menu even though I live in Scotland. We don't really have a traditional menu as far as I've seen, other than haggis...

Steak pie can also be a big thing...That's the two sort of main things *is thinking on Burns Night*

She ended up with a Scotch pie, which is what the site I finally found told me would be a good option. Minced beef and onions in a pastry crust.

Yeah that's another thing commonly ate here:)

I don't know if this is helpful or not...

http://www.scotrail.co.uk/content/nick-nairn-joins-first-scotrail-support-scottish-food-producers.html - sounds like their Scottish menu is mainly highlighting produce sourced from Scotland.

http://www2.stv.tv/content/tv/thefivethirtyshow/thesofa/stephen/eatingforscotland/ - allegedly the Great Scottish Meal for if you want more options than Haggis for Jonathon.

http://achiltibuiecottages.wordpress.com/2008/08/01/caledonian-sleeper-train-the-only-way-to-travel-to-inverness/ - this review talks about what they ate on the train

http://www.independent.co.uk/travel/uk/its-not-murder-on-the-deerstalker-express-748717.html - more info on the train trip.

Can't get the full article without paying but http://www.scotlandmag.com/magazine/issue38/12008529.html confirms as eletrictoes said that haggis, neaps and tatties are on the menu.
