If you go to Scotland, friends will yell Haggis! A must try when you are in Scotland. But I honestly think they missed this: Tunnock’s Tea cakes and waffles. Haha…

The madness started when I was at Trongate 103. The Glasgow print studio. While looking for prints from local graphic designers I stumbled upon a print from Fiona Watson and more of Tunnock’s waffle, tea cake and coconut snow ball art came by. 

Even at the Lighthouse next to Mackintosh his architecture, this Scottish brand called Tunnock seems to be one of the prides of Scotland too haha

I’ve tasted the tea cakes and it’s quite sweet. An egg white marshmallow on a cookie coated with chocolate. The taste resembles our Dutch ‘Chocolade zoenen’ (chocolate kisses), but with a more tasty biscuit. Let’s day that Tunnock’s is the 2.0 version. Honestly had enough after one, but can totally imagine it’s success. What I find more fascinating is the cultus around this most loved cake!

Like the awesome illustration of Scottish goods by artist hwayyoungjung (above) or other creative goodies by another fan and designer Nikki McWilliams. The best way to promote a local sweet instead of those corny souvenirs.
