Scotland, the food!

Now, because my visit to Scotland was also a visit to Lyla, a lot of our time involved sitting around, drinking a pint, catching up, and eating.  And we ate SO MUCH delicious, really just amazing food.  I managed to take pictures of most of it.  Om nom nom.
tamarind-scented sweet curry pork with thai naan
spring rolls and chicken puffs
rhubarb pie with clotted cream and a cappucino
pitas with chili cheese dip, green pea and wasabi dip, and homemade pesto
burger with sweet potato fries and garlic mayo... perfect after the big night that was Halloween!
meat pies
seafood chowder, complete with fish, smoked fish, and clams
one half kilo of mussels in herbed butter, and easily the freshest and sweetest mussels I've ever had... plus they were only like 8 pounds (12 dollars) and still had bits of kelp sticking to them!
fish and chips (this was the second time we had fish and chips!)
mussel carnage
miso soup, edamame, and dumplings
sushi and stir-fried udon with veggies
manzanilla wine with lemonade
tapas sampler: honeyed eggplant, breaded cheese, paella, patatas bravas, setas al ajillo, pollo al ajillo, and salad
croquetas
Not pictured: the first serving of fish and chips, the sausages we cooked at the hostel, the second awesome burger we ate before I had to leave on Friday, a big bowl of French onion soup, the couscous salad we made at the hostel another evening, an order of baked canelloni, ginger beers, ciders, ales, or any of our breakfasts (which were generally toast, to be fair).
