Venison, says Andy Waugh, is the best meat there is. It’s good for you, it’s good for the land, and it tastes great. But have you ever thought about what it means to source it from the highlands? We hadn’t. But Andy is an old hand, and his family have a history of providing wild sourced game throughout the Highlands and now far beyond, including to the two Mac and Wild restaurants in London.

But what other Scottish foods can you eat to get in touch with the soul of the country? And does Pete’s description of an Arbroath Smokey constitute a hate crime? Possibly.

You can catch up with Mac and Wild on instagram and through their website. You can also check their restaurants in the Falls of Shin, Fitzrovia, and the City of London.

If you can’t get there, why not try a meal kit?
