Haggis is the most famous and infamous Scottish food there is. The balmoral chicken is a dish that celebrates the haggis by stuffing it inside a chicken breast and then wrapping it all up in bacon.

Ever wonder what working as a whisky distiller in Scotland is like? In this video we're following Jim Casey around for the day as he makes scotch.

The Borders Distillery is located in Hawick, Scotland. It is the first distillery in the Scottish Borders in over 180 years, as the last distillery in the borders shut down in 1837.

We're making flapjacks today, and no I don't mean pancakes. In the UK flapjacks refer to a baked oatmeal bar. Since it's cold out, we'll pair our flapjacks with a comforting hot toddy to keep us nice and warm during these cold months. The hot toddy has whisky, honey, lemon, and spices mixed in, and also makes for a nice drink when you feel sick or unwell.

The first time I saw gammon in the grocery store I thought it was just the British word for ham or pork chop. I brought it home, seasoned it generously with salt and pan fried it. Boy, was it gross to eat! Turns out gammon is already very salty on its own so there is no need to season it with more salt. Today we’ll be making a British classic, gammon steak with pineapple, a fried egg, and chips. Our gammon is served in a light pineapple sauce to cut through the saltiness of the gammon. We've paired our dish with a fruity and creamy piña colada to continue on with our sweet pineapple theme . Ingredients for Miss Brewbird's Gammon, Pineapple, And Egg: 2 gammon steaks 1 can of pineapple rings 1 small spoonful of honey 1 small spoonful of mustard 1 egg chips (aka fries) Ingredients for Miss Brewbird's Piña Colada: 1 can of pineapple rings 45mL of white rum 90mL of coconut cream 4-5 ice cubes maraschino cherries and a lime round to garnish
