This is why the Scots are so hardheaded and warlike.

One often yearns
For the land of Burns.
The only snag is
The haggis!

Dean,

Do you really consider fish and chips a better option?

My motto is “All the fish in the sea are safe from me.”

I do indeed . Terrific English fish and chips with fresh fish fried in super hot beef drippings is great. I ate lots of it during my year at Cambridge wonderfully supplemented by hush puppies made with the mix sent to me by Jim McKnight’s father, a Memphis food broker. My neighbors loved the hush puppies so much they would eat any cold ones I had left over.

Not even Daniel Boulud could make haggis scrumptious.

Dean,

Your Cambridge fare sounds like the ideal weight-loss diet for me. I’d be down to the 138 pounds listed on my draft card in no time!

Dean is an Englishman.  Paul is Spanish,  Kit is a Scot.  Margo is 1/4 German and 1/2 Scot and 1/4 Irish.  So who likes fish?

I do - I am French heritage. 
Certainly Dean had to like fish and chips.

I do too Tina. Although as one of Irish decent I tend to give equal focus on the beverage.

According to the DNA tests I am 50/50 English and German, testified by my preference for leg of lamb and lebkuchens. 300 years in the South added the taste for pralines, pork barbecue, and iced tea with a sprig of mint. 😉

Paul, Wonder why I thought you were Spanish?  Too bad, I think it is the German part that does not like fish.  Mike, My Irish and Scots think of the beverage as “the breath of life.”  Margo

Margo,

My surname sounds Spanish, although Francisco as a surname is most common in Portugal. From what I have been able to find out, my own Francisco ancestors came from France as Huguenots. The name got shortened to Sisco in North Carolina and New Jersey but cousins in New York and Michigan still use the full Francisco surname.

When I was in the sixth grade in Mrs. Peeler’s class at Training, I asked my father about our name, and he said his grandfather had told him it was originally San Francisco. My dad was just a little bit wrong. But for a while, I signed my name Paul San Francisco just for fun.

Paul, I love that story.  I love that you signed your name that way.  When my son was in the second grade his teacher called me to tell me that Chris was signing his name as ACE, and when she asked him why, he said he was changing his name.  She asked me if she should direct him to sign it with Chris.  I laughed and told her that I would talk to him to see why he was changing his name, and I would let her know.  Chris told me he just liked that name.  I told him he could use it except for important papers like his report card.  I told him when he was 18 we would changed it legally if he still wished to do so, meantime, it would be a “nickname”.  So Chris still answers to Ace or Acer, but legally he is still Christopher.

Good story, Margo. I would have preferred not to be a Jr., but never thought of actually changing it. Women have to go through a lot of hoops if they want to take their husband’s surname. My sister and her oldest daughter have done that twice.
