Our dish — the plate we'd order here first

Butter Tablet

Tablet, Scotland's firmer, grainier cousin of fudge, made to Nonna's recipe and cooked so the sugar keeps its bite. Beaten hot, poured into trays and left a full day before cutting: a bar for now, a box for home.

The Fudge House of Edinburgh

Scottish confectioner · fudge and tablet made in the shop since 1949 · Old Town (Canongate), Edinburgh

197 Canongate, Edinburgh EH8 8BN

The Margiotta family came to Edinburgh from the Abruzzo hills, and after the war their sons began making fudge and Scottish tablet on the Royal Mile. They still make both by hand in the Canongate shop.
