Our favourite Scottish food revealed
As Scotland votes 'no', what did you vote ‘yes’ to in terms of its food?
Scotland has chosen to remain part of the United Kingdom. Now that result has been declared, here are the results of the Lovefood Scottish vote, where we asked you to vote for your favourite Scottish food.

The traditional Burns Night supper of haggis, neeps (turnips) and tatties (potatoes) topped the poll with a whopping 43% of the vote. Porridge came second, and Cullen Skink third.

The infamous deep-fried Mars Bar also picked up a vote – the Lovefood Team tried that one out this week.
