While riding on the subway in Glasgow, an ad for the Taste of Edinburgh happened to catch my eye. Too bad we wouldn’t be in Edinburgh for a few more days, I thought. Then I saw the event dates: it started the Friday we’d be in Edinburgh! Upon our return to our hotel, I immediately purchased tickets.
And they were well worth the modest price; the weather was beautiful (from what we understand, days without rain in Scotland are a blessing) and the food was amazing.
Haggis fried in garam masala batter; Kama Sutra
Mackerel over ratatouille with basil pesto; Two Fat Ladies at The Buttery
(my favorite of the evening) Asian glazed pork cheek with sweet potato and bok choy; Tigerlily
Prosciutto on homemade bread with Italian soft cheese and arugula; Cucina at Missoni
Lanarkshire blue cheese risotto bon bon with beetroot paint; Wedgewood the Restaurant

We washed down our meals with two local IPAs from Stewart Brewing and Brew Dog.
