englishblueeyes: My dad still does that - dips a piece of bread in the bacon fat as it is cooking and I am ashamed to say that it is very nice, but I stopped doing it once I watch Gordon Ramsey and a piece he did on the oinkers!!! Not pleasant!!
There is a show called Bizarre Foods with a little chubby chef who eats the most unbelievable foods and his motto if it looks good try it but I must admit when he eats raw fish hearts it turns my stomach a tad!!!
Here in Cyprus people eat sheep heads and seeing them in the butchers looking at me does not want to make me eat them, although I have no problem with their chops!!!

Hey come on, you guys have some strange sausages, and thats all a haggis is in reality, a large overstuffed sausage.
Unless of course you get to go on a haggis shoot and bag a live one, but thats another story....................

Over here I apparently have a posh Scots accent But our speech Is more slang although its not slang ............ if you know what I mean .For instance .
That wee yin (that wee one ,normally a kid) thats the correct spelling of our odl grammer but now its known as slang in other countries .Some people think they know whats best for us ,that includes our speech .But we wont change it .Its actually became alive again because we feel us Scots are fading away from our true heritage
