It seems that Scotland, normally recognised worldwide for it’s unhealthy diet and creations such as the battered mars bar and deep fried pizza, is actually a world leader in food and drink. According to this Scotland On Sunday article the ICTA (International Culinary Tourism Association) have praised Scotland’s local produce and chef’s and allowed us the right to promote our nation as a “unique, memorable and interesting” location for a gourmet holiday.
Nine locations were reviewed in this latest study including Peru, Singapore, South Africa, New Zealand and Louisiana with Scotland trumping the afore mentioned American state by 9 points. Locations were marked on the number of food organisations and events and the attraction of the country to ‘culinary tourists’.
Do you agree that we have the best food on our doorstep? Where is your ideal food location?
