Utter tosh.

Oh, I don't know, it's a matter of taste. If one isn't partial to locally
smoked wild salmon, Loch Fyne oysters, wild venison, Aberdeen Angus beef,
undyed smoked haddock or haggis (which I must admit is a case of mind over
matter the first time!), then it's possible one would be dissatisfied with
the cuisine of Scotland. Perhaps the OP attempted to survive on deep fried
Mars Bars?

Indeed. I'm not lucky enough to have such delicacies every time I'm in
Scotland, but I typically enjoy what I have. It's just the general 'the
food is inedible' comment that irritates me. If a tourist _really_ can't
get decent food in the UK, then they seem a bit clueless to me. Then
again, I've got very wide tastes- I make a point of enjoying the local
food no matter where I go.
