People show up at the little grocery tents to pick up the Scottish delights that are so difficult to find around here throughout the rest of the year.<\/p>\n

Some of the foods don’t surprise me in the least, such as the canned haggis (and vegetarian haggis), shortbread cookies, marmite, and Irn-Bru (like orange soda but a little less sweet).<\/p>\n

Some things just leave me shaking my head.<\/p>\n
