Butterscotch

Food historians have several theories regarding the name of this candy and its connection to Scotland; none of them conclusive. Some have documented that "buttery toffee" is often called butterscotch Scotch being an old adjective for Scotland which suggests it was invented in the country. However, the word was first recorded in Doncaster, a Yorkshire town of England, where Samuel Parkinson began making the candy in 1817. Parkinson's Butterscotch had royal approval and was one of Doncaster's attractions until it ceased production in 1977.
