Mike Myers - "My theory is that all of Scottish cuisine is based on a dare."

After stopping to eat in Glasgow years ago, and seeing the things they were prepared to deep-fry, I would have said it was based on a death wish.
-
Deep-fried pizza anyone ...

Just looking at the picture is giving me indigestion [:)]

It is so cold in Scotland that you need the calories.

Not as cold as Finland and they don't eat deep fried reindeer kebabs.

..and they are all cold and depressed.

All the Finns I've ever met have been too drunk to be cold!

All the Finns I have met have been on fish.
Yes be afraid, very afraid - I'm Ba-a-a-a-k

I've seen this too. In St Petersburg two fell down a fire escape from a top floor of our hotel (it was thought they mistook it for their room door) and died in the cold (- 31C).
-

That's odd - I know quite a few Finns, and they are pretty sober - too cold to be drunk, perhaps?. Also, the males do all have the same rather monotone voice, similar to Kimi Raikkonen
-
I've been to Finland and I think drinking Estonian vodka is their national sport! They pop across on the ferry and buy it by the tankerload as it's so much cheaper than buying vodka in Finland.

You mean 'oat cuisine, I assume. I don't think I could "stomach" that. Haggis and all that you know.

Me too! Me too! I LOVE haggis especially with a small dram or twelve! It's actually one thing that I miss here in Germany. Black pudding i can get (Blutwurst)
-
I like haggis too - it's best fried. [:I]
-
Fried for breakfast with eggs! Drool....But, boiled is equally tasty. Neeps and tatties!

I was looking up this word on the net, and was ammused by this result.
"Procreation:
One entry found."
Also, if i believe in evolution through inheritance of genetic material and natural changes, does that make me a "procreationist"?
-
Members of the KKK visiting Scotland will be glad to hear that white Pudding is also available...
White pudding or oatmeal pudding is a meat dish popular in Scotland... It is very similar to black pudding, but does not include blood. Consequently, it consists of pork meat and fat, suet, bread, and oatmeal formed into the shape of a large sausage. Earlier versions (pre-1990) often had brain matter (sheep) added as a binding agent.

What has that got to do with the price of haggis.
-
Are you suggesting that the haggis is not an evolved lifeform?
-
She is. And it possibly incorrect as it tends to crawl around in one's stomach and then find it's own way out, usually through the mouth.

Call me old fashioned, but I'm used to following the title of the thread, and I thought that it was appropriate for my own quote of the day....

That is far too sensible. Fancy, actually sticking to the thread. Whatever next?

I know. He must be a weirdo. My mum warned me about them.

All Scotsmen are weirdos so what do you expect? The go around wearing skirts!

Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut. ~Ernest Hemingway
-
and how often was Hemingway sober?
-
and how often was Hemingway sober?
I've had a life-long interest in the great man and his writing and can report that the answer to this is - not very often.
Hemingway would rise early and do his literary work for about 4 hours before he allowed himself a drink - about mid-morning. One biographer (the unfortunate son who became a Dr) says he had the equivalent of 2 bottles of whisky/day for 20 years.

Is he the hero of Christopher Hitchins? (Should Hitchins allow himself heros). There appear to be some similarities here!

I know nothing of this, I'm afraid.

Please define "topic." Isn't the topic what is being discussed? Or is this incorrect?

That means something quite different here in the US.

Taff, you finally figured out how to post. Hurray. He is a wise sage and full of useless information. He will fit in well.
-
Welcome, Taff!
I hear that you are as sick as the rest of us here so please, just go ahead and insult anyone you wish, including Make It Lady - ESPECIALLY Make It Lady.
-
He already does! He threw his coffee over my trousers the other day. I had wet knickers for the rest of the day! Still the crabs had a swimming pool!
-
I have heard that you can get rid of crabs by pouring a low quality scotch over them, give them time to get drunk, then sprinkle the area with sand and watch them stone each other to death.
