Highland Grub

No one ever considers the culinary delights of places Like Scotland, a remote northern region of the United Kingdom, but Tony Bourdain insists that it's a place of extraordinary cuisine. And he's right. The show starts out in Glasgow, where Tony's friend Simon makes him experience The various reasons why the Scottish have the highest rate of heart disease in the world: deep fried pizza, deep fried mars bars, deep fried pickled eggs, deep fried everything! Simon also takes Tony to enjoy a traditional haggis, a meal of ground lung, liver, etc, that is steamed in a stomach lining wrap. From there, the show moves further north, to the Scottish highlands, where Tony stays at The Cawdor Estate. On the estate, Tony hunts and fishes for everything he eats, which is all prepared by the estate's in-house chef, Ruth. She shows the way traditional Scottish food from the Highlands is prepared using only the freshest local ingredients. The meals include pan-seared salmon with a scotch whiskey cream sauce; nettle soup; rabbit and raw venison stew.
