Food is everywhere at the Edinburgh festival ...... of course there is a lot of rip off going on - I saw a portion of Chips (French Fries in US), being offered at £6.50. That's close to criminal! But most food was at city centre prices. However with competition so fierce, there are some attention grabbers about .... here's a few.
Porks a real standard this year ..... the benchmark for all the pork rolls is something like this one.

| The Crackling Pig |
So the competition came up with this ..... catchy legend as well.
 |
| The Hog Hut ... "Its only Pork 'n' Roll, but I like it" |
There was also International Cuisine from around the globe ...... then there was this one from Australia.
 |
| Aussies Don't Do Cuisine ..... |
But you can never beat the Scots at their own game ...... Yes its not myth, this is the latest advert for the legend of Scottish cooking ....

Never thought I would see them advertised like that professional bill poster. To be honest I thought they were semi-urban myth.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, but they really exist and are now something of a national delicacy. It makes me laugh every time I see them advertised. it has to be said that they are not at the festival.
DeleteThere's a fish and chip shop in New York which is called "A Salt & Battery" which is kinda funny.
ReplyDeleteWell 'Harry' .... it is funny. Thanks for the comment. LOL
