A cold can of Irn Bru on a summer's day, the satisfying feeling of seeing a morning roll filled with square sausage and potato scone, being offered a wee bit of tablet - all the things we Scots can often take for granted.
From fish and chips by the seaside to the freshest seafood sampled while travelling to one of Scotland's beautiful islands - there's plenty to shout about.
But what about Scots who no longer live here? What do they miss most?
We scoured social media to find out what foods Scottish expats craved the most when they think of home.
Irn Bru
It's no surprise that Scotland's other national drink is the most popular response.
Eleanor Chandler who currently lives in Barbados put it top of her wishlist, while Scottish football writer Peter McVitie who lives in the Netherlands said it's "unbelievable" how much he misses it.
Paul Connelly, who lives in Japan, stated that he's not had any in almost 2 years, he said: "I can't wait for an ice cold can when I get home."
Square Sausage
In Germany, there is a sausage on every corner, while in Scotland, there is a corner on every sausage - said somebody, somewhere once.
The ubiquitous square sausage is normally the first choice for any Scottish breakfast.
Mark Kelly,who now lives in South Korea joked that he wants one so badly, he'll maybe need to "start a Scottish fry-up place in Seoul".
PaulGibson, who lives in the south of England said: "That’s one thing I miss is square sausage. It’s so hard to get it down here in the south of England. What I would give for one of my gran's square sausage in crusty rolls right now."
Even high flying actors miss them, Scots-born Supernatural star Ruth Connell said a roll and sausage is the thing she misses most about Scotland other than the theatre scene.
Plain Loaf
Massively underrated and with the crusts that are ideal for dunking in soup - the plain loaf is unsurprisingly high on the list for expats.
David Duffy wrote: "What is it that when you come back to Scotland you can't get enough square sausage, plain loaf and haggis? Being away for 10 years I missed it."
Haggis Neeps and Tatties
Unsurprisingly, haggis, which is unavailable in many parts of the world is something people looked forward to when they come home.
Lindsay Mackay, who lives in Bahrain, said:"Believe it or not we can get Irn Bru easily, but I do miss a decent haggis supper!"
Margaret Hutchison just misses good neeps, she posted: " Decent neeps. In Australia they are wee tiny things with no flavour."
Fruit pudding
Along with obvious offerings like potato scones and square sausage, fruit pudding was mentioned by more than a few people.
Macaroni Pies
Alongside the more traditional Scotch pie, this Scots-Italian foodie fusion has a lot of fans.
David Smith, who now lives in the US, wrote: "I really hope you can still get them because I need to have one when I visit."
A Pizza Crunch
Along with a good chip shop tea, and suppers like smoked sausage and black pudding, the ever popular battered deep fired pizza is a once in a while treat that a lot of Scots seem to miss.
Twitter user @pumpkinwat wrote: "Watching @fathersonband has resulted in me educating the poor English folks about munchy boxes and pizza crunch, I miss eating horrendous delicious food."
Kari Rose added: "I just had a dream where I had a pizza crunch (deep fried pizza) and I’ve woken up nearly in tears because it wasn’t real. I miss Scotland."
Scottish Water
Jean Docherty said: "Good old Scottish water Is what l missed the most."
Other notable mentions include Lee's Snowballs, Rowies, well-fired rolls, Arbroath Smokies and stovies.
