Suzy - whatever you want I'll wear it!

How about turning up in a full Highland dress.  I'm a tad homesick.  I know it will be a tad warm for a kilt in July, but if you can find a Scottish tourist shop, they sell lots of tarten linen dish towels.  I'm sure you could make yourself a light weight kilt from them lol

Suzy - Don would look better in a kilt. He's tall, handsome, and can actually wear the tartan with pride. (That's a beer, Don!)

I'll try to find a big enough tea-towel!

Jimbo,

I know just the place you will find one.  Clinton Cards.  They do kilt beach towels.  I've seen some Scottish guests with them.  They cover all your articles and particles, allegedly.

See you in July

Suzy, if you are a little homesick how about a delivery in July;
some Edinburgh Rock, some Cowan's tablet and of course the official 'erramacaroon' bars

When in July? Not had tablet for years. Simmers butter biscuits and Aberdeen morning rolls would go down a treat too.

Loftyscot, thanks for the offer, but I don't really eat any of that tooth decaying stuff.  My body is a temple and all that lol.  It's just to sweet.  Used to eat loads of it when I was young.  How about square sliced sausage, tattie scones and Scotch pies.  Prefer the artery clogging stuff

Bloody hell. I thought the Greeks had the foreign food!

[loftyscot]

Ho, ho, now yer talking. And a scoop of haggis too with brown sauce, yum 

[Jimbo]

This site suggests drizzling whisky over the haggis. Sounds good to me!

I must say, though, that Orkney Clapshot sounds as though a drizzle of penicillin would be best...

There was a documentary on STV a few years
ago, revealing what went into a scotch pie.
We've not had one since!

Like all countries, poor folk developed tasty food from the worst bits of an animal!

Try anything once and twice if tasty!

[IrisG]

If it was only bits of an animal we were talking about re a Scotch Pie,
I wouldn't have been too bothered!
Dander, droppings and sawdust were some of the less tasty
ingredients in this particular brand of delicacy!

Never forget visiting Tannadice and seeing them heated by being thrown into the deep fat frier!

I fondly remember visiting friends in Guernsey, who had French exchange
students staying with them. They were all horrified to hear that our chippies
sell deep-fried pizza!
