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