I was invited to a Cambodian lunch at Floating Rock Restaurant (144 Shirley Ave, Revere, Massachusetts; 781-286-2554), by my friend Chris, whom I cajoled into trying a durian milkshake. For those who don’t know, durian is a...

There is no rye grain in Canadian Whisky. Canadian Rye Whisky however is typically 100% Canadian rye grain spirit. Crown Royal and Canadian Club are not rye based anymore. Haven’t been for years. There are several very good...

Are there any restaurants in the DC/MD/NoVa area that serve haggis? I know there’s a Scottish place in Old Town but I don’t recall it being on the menu. I could be wrong, though. Or maybe The Royal Mile in Wheaton?

Try the Royal Mile Pub in Wheaton, MD. It’s a 5-minute walk from the Wheaton Metro stop, a straight shot from DC on the “Red Line.” About a 20-minute ride from the center of town. From their website: "The bar...

We like A Room In The Town and Jackson’s on the Royal Mile. Jackson’s is spendy but the food is very good and you can order a whisky to match each course. ARITT is cheaper but the food is still very good and you can...

Cape Breton Island is shut tight for the season, so I’ll be hunkering down in Halifax for the next few days. If I’d arrived just a week or two earlier, there’d have been many more Maritime options.

FYI—I found a couple of options. There’s a GREAT little pub in Wheaton MD (the Royal Mile Pub) that makes Haggis in-house and you can buy it from them by the pound. Also, Jimmy’s Market in Warrenton VA orders...

-breadish. A better bet is the Kilcoy Arms, a country inn about 8 miles north of Inverness. It is just east of the main highway (the A9) on the road to Fortrose (the A832). I had a very tasty chicken pot-pie served with a large...

Try Deacon Brodie’s. It is a touristy place ( Jekyll and Hyde), but has haggis and is fairly cheap. It is on the Royal Mile, so very easy to find.
