In the opinion of one who is completely ignorant of such matters, I reckon that if it looks like a kilt, it's a kilt. The 'handsewn in Scotland' thing seems a bit silly to me. Now on the other hand, if anyone was to ask me about Yorkshire puddings, I can say with certainty (and only half-jokingly) that if it isn't baked by a person who was born in Yorkshire, it ain't a Yorkshire Pudding.

So I think there's a bit of national/regional pride coming into both of those equations. But one thing's for sure - my attitude about Yorkshire puddings isn't going to affect the taste of one that was baked by someone who has never set foot in Yorkshire, and I think a similar thing can be said about the kilt.

However, the use of so-called 'Yorkshire Pudding Mix' is insulting. If you must use a mix, it's better to do without.
