There was some unexpected country with bagpipes the other day. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 08/09/2010 11:56:07 PM
Cannot remember who it was. Maybe Poland?

Anyway, Wikipedia agrees with me re spread. :|

Do you know the weirdest thing about Scotland? Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:26:18 PM 1408 Views
True, and I agree with your theory. Camilla - 08/09/2010 11:31:46 PM 883 Views
Good. I thought it made sense. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:33:25 PM 972 Views

deep fried mars bars? *NM* Yunalesca - 08/09/2010 11:34:09 PM 412 Views
They're actually very tasty. *NM* Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:34:33 PM 592 Views
shame that they look like a heart attack tho. *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:01:12 AM 563 Views
Eat them with your eyes closed? Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:01:46 AM 1123 Views
*twitches* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:04:21 AM 910 Views
Kebabs are not repulsive! You're repulsive! Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:07:33 AM 1077 Views
*cries* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:11:17 AM 1073 Views
*offers a hankie* Sorry. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:12:54 AM 937 Views
Hm. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:13:06 AM 950 Views
I mostly mean meat on a stick, with the occasional veggie, roasted over fire or grilled. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:14:43 AM 928 Views
Ah. In Britain, "kebab" means Doner Kebab. I think they call the other one Shish Kebab. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:17:56 AM 867 Views
I've heard shishkebab before, but just assumed it was shortened to kebab. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:21:22 AM 932 Views
It is a good question - what's the difference between pita and (döner) kebab. Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:20:38 AM 937 Views
Well, I've never seen a doner kebab, so I can't really speak to that... Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:24:57 AM 1002 Views
Re: Well, I've never seen a doner kebab, so I can't really speak to that... Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:32:28 AM 1026 Views

Gyro snoopcester - 09/09/2010 12:29:42 AM 867 Views
Now, Gyros I know. Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:31:55 AM 999 Views
I'm thinking "Aladdin's Gyrocery" isn't Greek... Awesome name though. *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:33:10 AM 566 Views
Yeah, I'm guessing their not Greek... Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:34:44 AM 999 Views
Yes but in Scotland, your Gyro is something completely different. Michael - 09/09/2010 09:56:52 AM 907 Views
*NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 04:15:51 PM 504 Views
Uhg! I went to Scotland and ate nothing deep fried! Ben! Where is my Mars bar??? *NM* M & M Maddy - 09/09/2010 12:03:22 AM 455 Views
it fell in the frier? *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:05:45 AM 589 Views
Maybe he figured you didn't want to eat American food staples while you were there. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 09/09/2010 12:26:30 AM 602 Views
But the Fried Mars Bar is for some reason, a Scotish national dish! We did have great food though mm *NM* M & M Maddy - 09/09/2010 04:32:10 AM 591 Views
Similar in Mexico... Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:38:46 PM 1000 Views
Huh. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:40:27 PM 1022 Views
Yuh huh. Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:44:08 PM 911 Views
Well. My lecturers and tutors left that out. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:47:21 PM 909 Views
Much shame on them. Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:49:57 PM 949 Views
Re: Much shame on them. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:53:37 PM 829 Views
True... most Chicanos prefer it a bit warmer than "freezing cold." Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:55:23 PM 946 Views
Jugo? I'd say zumo... Legolas - 08/09/2010 11:51:10 PM 1067 Views
I'm probably strange, but that makes me think of tomatoes. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:58:51 PM 801 Views
Might be used for tomatoes too, sure. But zumo de naranja, zumo de manzana, etc., all works. Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:01:47 AM 1012 Views
zumo is Spanish-Spanish, I believe Camilla - 09/09/2010 09:02:14 AM 983 Views
Yeah, but I was confused because Rebekah said jugo was Spanish-Spanish. *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 09:47:21 AM 629 Views
Maybe it's a regional thing? Camilla - 09/09/2010 09:50:11 AM 880 Views
I don't know if that's weirder than manskirts, musical vacuum cleaners and eating sheep guts... *NM* ßelals Girl - 08/09/2010 11:40:03 PM 630 Views
I have no idea what you're talking about. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:42:32 PM 986 Views
What, Spain and Scotland (okay, and Brittany) are "almost every European country" now? *NM* Legolas - 08/09/2010 11:52:18 PM 643 Views
There was some unexpected country with bagpipes the other day. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:56:07 PM 1064 Views
Actually, this is a better list. Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:57:47 PM 974 Views
Okay. We'll just have to conclude they're really, really obscure/rare in most of those countries. *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:00:07 AM 578 Views
Well. They're certainly not popular anymore. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:01:12 AM 886 Views
I can't imagine why *NM* ßelals Girl - 09/09/2010 12:26:29 AM 603 Views
Awww. Bagpipes played well are lovely. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:32:36 AM 1030 Views
it also helps if they arn't played right down your ear *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:44:38 AM 486 Views
True fact. *NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:45:59 AM 570 Views
my ears still ring every now and then *NM* Yunalesca - 09/09/2010 12:51:10 AM 604 Views
What are you talking about, bagpipe music rocks! *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:33:43 AM 569 Views
They sound like a car alarm in a blender ßelals Girl - 09/09/2010 12:59:58 AM 984 Views
I can't stop laughing at your comparison. nossy - 09/09/2010 02:56:30 AM 1039 Views
*NM* Phelix - 08/09/2010 11:44:41 PM 594 Views
Thanks! I'll be here all week *NM* ßelals Girl - 09/09/2010 12:27:13 AM 587 Views
I'll be sure to tip the waitress... and can I try the veal? *NM* Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:28:12 AM 635 Views
Veal makes me sad. *NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:39:09 AM 580 Views
As long as it's produced ethically, I don't feel bad enjoying it. *NM* Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:40:16 AM 585 Views
I dunno. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:43:01 AM 898 Views
It's OK... Phelix - 09/09/2010 12:45:41 AM 905 Views
Rocky mountain... oysters? Buh? Legolas - 09/09/2010 12:50:05 AM 1087 Views
If they're the same as regular mountain oysters... Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:51:37 AM 873 Views
Nope! Phelix - 09/09/2010 01:09:02 AM 918 Views
They are not oysters at all! Phelix - 09/09/2010 01:08:32 AM 919 Views
Re: It's OK... Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:52:07 AM 898 Views
Phelix - 09/09/2010 01:10:38 AM 905 Views
How the hell do you... Michael - 09/09/2010 10:00:05 AM 875 Views
But those are the best parts about Scotland. Avendesora - 09/09/2010 03:44:18 PM 921 Views
What a strange people. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 08/09/2010 11:56:36 PM 543 Views
In every way. *NM* Rebekah - 08/09/2010 11:58:00 PM 576 Views
Hey Rebekah? M & M Maddy - 09/09/2010 12:05:09 AM 1024 Views
Yes Maddy? Rebekah - 09/09/2010 12:11:58 AM 933 Views

Oh yeah, that is not what I would have guessed. nossy - 09/09/2010 02:58:06 AM 1021 Views
Rebekah - 09/09/2010 10:12:02 AM 831 Views
The Scots. *NM* Ghavrel - 09/09/2010 03:19:04 AM 578 Views
Well played. *NM* Rebekah - 09/09/2010 04:15:27 PM 564 Views
You stole my answer. *NM* Palatine - 09/09/2010 06:16:30 PM 615 Views
I was surprised to see nobody had beaten me to it. *NM* Ghavrel - 09/09/2010 08:47:22 PM 551 Views
As was I. *NM* Palatine - 10/09/2010 07:16:47 PM 571 Views
This post betrays your origins as an interloper and not a native Scot. Michael - 09/09/2010 09:23:21 AM 942 Views
World citizen. That's what I am. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 10:11:10 AM 905 Views
You say potato... Michael - 10/09/2010 02:19:23 PM 950 Views
Yes. I do. Rebekah - 10/09/2010 02:21:02 PM 845 Views
As do I. Michael - 10/09/2010 02:23:38 PM 926 Views
As Rebekah said, the SNP needs to keep its supporters hungry. Tim - 09/09/2010 10:51:33 AM 904 Views
True, but... Michael - 10/09/2010 02:25:31 PM 932 Views
They can blame being a minority government, and the recession. Tim - 10/09/2010 02:29:54 PM 1207 Views
Haha "juice"!? ironclad - 09/09/2010 12:44:28 PM 1044 Views

It's nearly the same thing in your ancestral language, you know. *NM* Legolas - 09/09/2010 04:19:31 PM 554 Views
Dudelsäcke rocken! *NM* ironclad - 10/09/2010 09:44:13 AM 489 Views

Well. Yes. But no. Rebekah - 09/09/2010 04:14:24 PM 948 Views
Yehbutnobut Elaine - 10/09/2010 02:36:40 PM 864 Views
That is one of the two really great things to come out of Ireland. Michael - 10/09/2010 02:39:43 PM 825 Views
I expected so much better from you. Michael - 10/09/2010 02:16:21 PM 1107 Views
I really can't decide which is the worse thing. Rebekah - 10/09/2010 02:18:45 PM 840 Views
I am ashamed to admit... Michael - 10/09/2010 02:20:28 PM 915 Views
~ponders~ Elaine - 10/09/2010 02:23:33 PM 896 Views
I just can't imagine what a deep fried Donner Kebab would taste like. Michael - 10/09/2010 02:36:55 PM 896 Views
Godspeed, sir. Rebekah - 10/09/2010 02:44:53 PM 967 Views
Kebab deliciousness, to the power of ten? Maybe? Elaine - 10/09/2010 02:56:09 PM 1093 Views
Hopefully. I am at work right through to 11pm, should get to the chippie around 7pm.... Michael - 10/09/2010 03:01:02 PM 888 Views
They have immigration? *NM* jh - 09/09/2010 08:12:42 PM 596 Views
