And if the game isn’t going to plan, at least you know the food won’t let you down.
Scottish Football Watch Party Menu
Food connects people to home in a way almost nothing else can, so chucking some authentic Scottish meats on the grill before kick off or serving up your favourite Scottish recipes during half time is a must this World Cup.
Haggis
Obviously, number one on the list has to be haggis. Arguably the most iconic, well-known Scottish food around the globe, you cannot host a Scottish watch party without offering up some proper haggis. Serve up a half time meal sliced and fried and serves in a flour-dusted soft white bap, or as part of a Full Scottish fry-up.
Is haggis banned in the US?
Haggis has a reputation for being hard to get hold of in the USA as an import, but fear not our haggis is legal, delicious and available in the USA! We use USDA-approved ingredients and owner Nick's time-honoured Scottish recipe, so you get all the flavour and tradition without compromising on the taste.

Scottish Black Pudding
Scottish black pudding is a staple of traditional Scottish breakfasts and the ultimate comfort food for football fans craving a taste of home. Crisp on the outside, with a different texture and more robust taste than traditional Black Pudding, it’s perfect with a fry-up, a pint, and 90 minutes of shouting at the telly.
Lorne Sausage Sandwich
Simple, satisfying and absolutely essential on match day. The famous Scottish square sausage, a Lorne sausage butty, is an easy way to tick the home comforts box during half time or for a post match debrief. Best served in a flour-dusted soft white bap, also known as a morning roll or a barm, with a splash of brown sauce, a Lorne sausage sandwich is a great way to deliver a taste of Scotland in the US.
