This week on The Leftovers, never-before-heard audio from actor Thomas Doherty, who stars in Disney’s Descendants movies, the reboot of Gossip Girl and the new indie romance film Dandelion.
Thomas is from Scotland, but moved to the U.S. to pursue acting. When he goes back home to the U.K., his dad always cooks up a big batch of his favorite comfort food: haggis served with neeps and tatties (you can learn all about these dishes on last week’s episode of Your Last Meal!).
Eager to learn about other traditional Scottish dishes, host Rachel Belle asks Thomas about classics like cullen skink and cock-a-leekie soup, but ...Thomas is just as stumped as she is! Listen to the hijinks and learn a bit about Scottish cuisine along the way!

0:56.6 | Thomas says he always asks his dad to make haggis when he brings American friends or a girlfriend home for dinner. |
1:00.9 | But I'll never tell them what it is. I'll always make them eat it and they're eating it and they're like, oh, it's really nice. |
1:12.5 | And then I eventually tell them that what's inside of Haggis is sheep's heart, sheep's lungs, stomach, sweet, spices, onions and oatmeal. |
